Could someone tell me what is on the rear lower panel below the bumper. There is a strip a foot or so long with 5 or 6 holes in it below the bumper. I can't remember and I can't find any pictures of what goes there. there are 2 holes below that and 2 holes off to the 1 side also. Any help on what goes there? I'm not talking about bumper holes. Thank you.

Car and year would help. I have a 76 and all I see is a body-colored panel that flows with the body lines, with nothing on it. I think that there's a notch in it for the exhaust pipe.

Your description of what you're thinking about is not very good.

I know, I forgot to put year. 71 series one, thanks

Mine had an optional air dam that mounted with the bolt-pattern that you mention for a 240z. Its in pretty rough shape so I pulled it off and its sitting in my attic right now. I believe it was to provide some stability at higher speeds.

Could it have been something to do with a tow bar.

What has been described as possibilities sound like things mounted to the front of the car, not the rear. Depending on the sizes of these extra holes you're car may of had some sort of body kit on it at one time. Pictures as always would be nice for a better guess.

It sounds to me like you referring to the welds that attach the rear panel to the rear cross member. If that is the case, nothing goes there. If you are referring to other holes, they are not stock.

Nice photos, Mike!

Mike,

I really appreciate your pictures of both sides of the valence as I have been trying to decide if I have the welding skills to replace mine.

Thank you very much Mike, and others. The PO had done something to it, but I had to cut my back panel out completely and do some repairs. It's welded back in and looks great. Except for the welds your talking about. I guess I should have known that. Thanks again.
