Holes above fog lights on an evo9?

Hey guys,

I was wondering what the holes above the evo 9 are, there is a car i am lookin at, and it has been taken off or something. Im sure i can buy the fillers from the dealer, but im just wondering what they are.
Here is a visual of what im talking about.


Thanks!!

first off the lower holes are vents not fog lights and the hole you are talking about covers a bolt that is taken out when removing the bumper

Yup, bolt holes for removing the front bumper. The plastic push-in piece should be relatively cheap.

Ahh, yeah sorry, i meant vents, they just look like fog lights when you glance lol.. Thanks guys!

I assume that is a good indicator that the owner probably did a IC change or something..

lol no worries i get asked that all the time about mine. Everyone thinks they r for foglight even wen they stare. Could be the owner removed the bumper for an IC change or pipe change but could also mean he/she got curious to c wat was back there lol.

I had one of my covers just fall off. I don't think you can order them painted any more.

I put a little bit of silicone sealer on them so they stay in place. Easy solution to save you a few bucks. One of mine was missing when I bought my car, too. I was able to get them in color about a year ago...Stew.
