What's This?

What is this "knock out" on the front bumper of the TL-S?



TIA.

I feel like such a noob asking.

it is a spot where if yo pop it off, there will be a hole that connects to the frame. It is used for small towing like when the TL gets stuck in the mud and needs to be pulled out, the hook for it is in the trunk of the car in the tray with the jack and wrench.

I have been through the manual once or twice - scanning and reading. I've had the car about a month, so going through it again, I'lll probably pickup some things I've missed or find better ways to use certain features.

Why, yes. Yes it is.

I didn't have pics of mine, so I went through the Photo Gallery to find what I needed. SSM is a nice color for this car - good choice. Thanks for the photo loan.

My wife asked me what it was for, I told her it was a flip door so the machine gun barrel can pop out.

I wonder if there's a racing tow available for this application. It might look cool ... if not I'm still with the machine gun barrel
