What's this for?

Noticed this little circular piece on the front bumper. It's to the right from the license plate area. What is it for?

amongst other things. Do not leave your Fit in a dark parking area. Bad things can happen to your bumper holes.

Improves MPG

Pop it out and you get better mileage through improved airflow............at least that's what the 48 MPG claimers must be doing. Needless to say, you also have to pop the one on the rear bumper to get the full effect!

Sorry..........I have a real obsession about some of the exaggerated MPG claims!!!!

Nope, it where they store the owners manual,which may explain why no one reads it. The one in the back stores the servive manual.

it's extra weight, that's what it is... either remove it or replace with a carbon fiber piece
