I recall there being one on my 996 C2 as well. Is this normal? Or is my bumper abnormal in which it may have been goofed around with, or been in an accident? Thanks in advance.

There may be a hole on each side. I noticed mine, prominently, when the first time I didn't properly "seat" my bumper cover after removing it.

I'm thinking at one time your cover was removed... and someone didn't line up that side.

Nothing to worry about.

That didn't answer your question, "For what are they?", but a rocket scientist soon will chime in.

Edit: Tommy the RS chimed in. Thanks Tommy.
