Fender liner trap door
The plastic fender liners in our cars have a small trap door molded into the concave shape in front of the wheel.

Allows access to the side marker lights, and also to the bolts securing the bumper cover to the body.

Mine are sitting in a back room in my barn. Havent had them on in a few years. If I was still driving it in the winter they would be on though.

There is a hole where the original air box was, that is probably a better inlet. That's why the original box was there.

Yup, you will crack the paint on your fenders from rocks getting kicked up.
