As for where the hole goes, it can be left to be merely cosmetic, or it can be fitted with a hose and used to route air to either the A/C condenser, front brakes or an aux. oil cooler I think? Perhaps someone with more knowledge can chime in...?

Thanks for all the info guys...
FYI after some more research, FVD sells their version of the Turbo S scoop ducts for $221 for BOTH pair; Carnewal is $100 more, and FVD sells the clear longer side lenses for $79 for BOTH pair. Suncoast sells the exact pair for $200, and says they're made by FVD on Suncoast's web page!
So, doesn't make much sense to buy from Carnewal and Pelican/Suncoast, as FVD sells the all parts for nearly half the price!
Thanks for all the help guys

I finally made it home last night and was able to take a photo of the FVD signals. IMO, the gap between the signal and fog light (original to the car and likely never removed) is too large. At least I can finally spray the bumperette inserts this weekend...

One item to add to your list when doing the euro clear turn signals are bulbs. You can't re-use the clear bulbs from your old lenses because it won't flash amber through the clear lens.
The bulb is an #1157A available from any auto parts store. I put them in and didn't like the way they look (you can see them in my post above). It looks like an orange blob behind the lens and ruins a nice clean look IMHO.
An option are silver bulbs that glow amber when they are on. I sourced these from Fleabay for $13:

Nice and stealth behind the clear lens...details, details
