Anyone know what that giant hole in the mesh grille of the Mtech front bumper is for? It's only on one side.

Thanks!

Do you have a picture of what you're talking about?

Here's a couple of pics of my front bumper...

Exactly. Two brake cooling ducts on either side of the mesh area.

(We were posting our initial replies at the exact time...)

Either you're missing a piece or the dealer isntalled the piece for the Active Cruise control for you and you dont have ACC or Night vision...

Haha, yeah you guys are fast. I think it's for ACC. It's on the passenger side. Seems Tony sent me the wrong grille.

Thanks for clarifying.
