I just had the bumper replaced on my 05 RL after a run in with a coyote. I noticed the underside of the bumper has several rectangular holes cut into it( maybe 1 inch by 1/2 inch). Can someone confirm if they are on the original bumper?. I was told they gave me a new OEM bumper, but I have my doubts.Thanks

 

Mine has 4 holes like your describe.

 

Same thing happened to me, and yes it has the holes in it.

Here is the best pic I could find... probably not much help.

 

How much did it cost?

 

The bumper alone was 435. The total repair was 3500. It included a bumper, ac condenser,ps cooler,radiator and fog light and trim pieces.
