what is that vent thing called next to the headlight? Also, has anyone modded that area of the grill before? Like added a light? Just curious.

I don't believe the "ornament" is functional, just decorative.

I s'pose you could add some lights in that location for bropoints.

Just an aesthetic design feature, it's solid and serves no other function. Agree about bropoints if you add lights.
