Missing plastic screws??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ive had my car for just a month now and only noticed yesterday that there are 2 holes on each side of the rear wheel well. Am I missing the plastic screws or are they really like this??? I think this is the hole to attach the rear bumper spoiler.

This is normal.

For the OEM mud flaps.

Oh I see!!! Thanks for that...by the way I'll be installing side skirts and rear bumper spoiler soon...my question is should I also install mud flaps and would they still look good???

I personally dislike the mudflap look; however, if you live in an area where they could be of use then could understand the addition. If you do a search you should be able to find some aftermarket flaps that look similar to rally if you're interested!

Thanks for the help...come to think of it you're correct they dont really look that appealing...

I removed the mudflaps on mine (Canadian-spec) to install the Rexspeed CF Side skirts. I figured the open holes should get plugged when mudflaps are not there

I suppose I can plug them with factory-style 2-piece plastic fasteners... the holes look silly and unfinished.

Those plastic screws always wear out so quickly.. it's happened to every car I've owned pretty much (especially Toyotas!)

Went to my local auto part store and bought some plastic plugs
