Those are parking sensors. If you tape over them it must impact performance.

Parking Sensors still work fine. You sure those round dots aren't for the shipping bolts?

That's what I thought,I agree about covering them having an impact on performance.
Yes those are trees over the car. It's not snowing everywhere.
If you cut out the filler panels you'll be looking at the bumper.

In the front there's a couple of covers where bolts are inserted for shipping tie-downs and towing. Not near my car right now but maybe those dots in the grille are those. Anyway if those dots are the parking sensors they weren't affected by tape.

Also, nice to see a grille that didn't get big holes from license plate holder screws.

They are parking sensors. When your front sensor is on , you can see the 4 zones.

There's nothing to replace man. Unfortunately, stupid dealers order the brackets installed from the factory or port. My car had it as well, and the worst thing for me is the bracket blocks airflow to the radiators. Don't want that in hot TX. So I removed my bracket, but there're 4 freaking holes now. I pushed the deformed plastic in as much as I could, and it's not that noticeable unless you look at it... but would like to insert plastic caps if possible. Problem is all I've seen have a much wider 'stem', and no way I'd make the holes even bigger, in case I ever have to put the bracket back. Will try to see if I can reach to all 4 holes and put nuts if it came to that, but if not, won't mess with the size of the holes. I haven't been bothered for over 30 years, but TX is a front-place state, so it's always possible I'd have to put it back in the future. I'll start my quest for those caps tomorrow, and will post if I find anything. Anybody finding a solution please post too.
