Possible Bumper Air Ducts where those Useless Triangle Reflectors are under Headlight.
If you look hard there seems to be a space for air flow under where those triangle amber reflectors are so I popped off the reflector for a look.
There are no screws. Just 3 friction fit fasteners on the 3 corners.
Also it seems that the top of the bumper cover is also curved out as well to maybe accept an air flow.
Could there be a possible air duct advantage here for brakes or radiators if those useless reflectors are removed just under the headlights.
A triangular black frame with screen mesh may look better than those amber reflectors.
Any thoughts or ideas?
