Does anyone else have this on their rear bumper?

I initially thought this was originally how the car was.....however, now the more I look at, the more unlikely that seems. :roll: :evil:

Nope. That's not factory. My bumper does not have anything like that on the painted surface.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like a rusty screw with an Allen head. Maybe the previous owner had it holding something to the bumper? Check the other side of the bumper and see if anything is attached by it. I'd personally remove it given it's rusty and is also located in a place were a hole is probably not too noticeable.

You are correct sir! I'm going to try to get underneath this weekend to see what's going on behind that bumper. You're right I may just take it off. If it's too noticeable, I can always plug it back up with a nice shiny screw!! LOL :lol:

I 'd plug it with a small black rubber plug. If you sanded it a bit, you might even be able to get touch up paint to adhere to the plug, might be almost invisible then.

That rust is not good. Get it out and plug the hole and touch it up with a dab of paint.

It looks to me like it's a James Bondish type oil sprayer to blind and cause the driver behind you to lose control. Do you have an extra button on the dash? :-)

LOL, yeah I'm the original Spy Hunter. Any suggestions on how to plug that hole up?
