hole in radiator side panel

[ROWDYRENAULT]

Good morning guys from sunny So Cal. I am making my way through my new Ultima project and noticed that the factory has put a appox 4 inch hole in the side panel that extends from the backside of the radiator up to the air outlet on the hood. At first thought I would think you would want that area sealed from the back of the radiator to the outlet. My second thought was the factory didn't go to this trouble to save fiberglass there must be a reason. Any answers? Lee

steve I agree that they are their by design I just wonder why they are their. Since they where not their as my car was delivered in 06 you know the factory didn 't put them their for the hell of it. Im going to E mail Richard and see what he says. Thanks for the reply regardless

As stated my first car did not have these my new one does. this required an additional process in the manufacture of the hood, that didn't happen to save weight. Come on factory what gives. Lee
