Working on changing the skid and front plastic trim to black. Purchased the black end caps from the normal modular bumper - but there is a rectangular cut out in the bumper that isn’t present on the normal MOD bumper

Any idea what’s behind it?

Will be powder coating this skid black.

Need to also figure out different pushpins - since the OE don’t go through the plastic piece in the middle they don’t sit tight.

The plastic fender clips - you can go down to your local auto parts store, or amazon, and buy a box of all different sizes for like $10. They are pretty cheap.

The small little cutout that's just below the radar / intercooler slot? That - I do not know. I don't see it on any other Mod bumpers - Braptor or otherwise.

Just throw a winch in front of it - you'll never see it again.

Seems like it’s in all the raptor bumpers - you just don’t see it because the plastic cover also covers that middle piece. (eBay listing for reference)

Assuming it’s likely fine to leave uncovered / can imagine what is behind that which would be problematic.

Went and did some more investigating. For some silly reason - the bumper wiring harness runs directly behind the hole. Leaving it exposed seems like a recipe for disaster.
