To be honest, I have no freakin' clue. I didn't put them there and just assumed they were factory (for whatever reason) when I bought it. If anyone can answer this question, you'd be my hero. I've long wondered this same thing, and after looking through the build threads at pre-2006 TB's, it appears that myself and Karo are the only ones with the holes. Anyone? :poke:

I have to agree with Nick on may the headlight washers. Though they also look like they could be for the intake on the one side, like on the SS. Is it open all the through?

I'm fairly certain that headlight washers were only an option on Envoys, and the nozzles are in the center grill surround. I actually bought a cheap surround in 2006 from a local show & shine enthusiast that has the nozzles. I never got around to putting in the pump, though.

Here's compnine's picture. No such animal for the Chevys. Now you're going to have me wondering until you see what's in those holes.

I looked closely, but I don't see anything. It does look like there is a bracket that was supposed to hold something. I doubt I can get a pick thats worth a crap, but I'll try.

Something I didn't know! So I Googled, and found this video of a North Face edition at a dealership on Youtube. Has the holes!

I believe those were only available on the European version (legal requirement??) and the US North Face. And the Envoy, and I assume Buick and Saab too.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.
