As some of you may have read, I hit an ice chunk that fell off a truck a while ago. While I was covering up the crack my car received I noticed a plastic thing hanging to the side. At first I thought something else was messed up, but when I messed around with it, I found it was just being held on by 2 thumb studs. One of them had broken loose. I looked around to try to figure out what purpose is served, but I couldn't tell. There is, or rather was, one on each side of the grille. I took out the thumb studs and with a bit of maneuvering I took them out through the engine bay. It seemed to me that these were there for no reason, they weren't covering anything, and they weren't attached to anything except the bumper. And they were blocking space the would normally allow air to get through to the radiator.
My questions are: Does anyone know what these are for, and has anyone else removed them? They are just two pieces of plastic that seem to have no relevance to the car.
