Anybody know what these plastic flaps are for?
 
I broke the plastic flap on the passenger side when taking out the crashbar. Do these flaps offer any functionality? With the bumper back on, it seems like they're there to act as a shield against water.

They direct airflow into the rad stack, but I doubt you need to worry about it. Maybe you can pull a part number off the broken one if you really want to fix it.

Gotcha, I'll apply some heat resistant glue and re-attach it :D
