IX Front Bumper Hole Plugs

I have been searching the forum and the internet on where to find some of these but I have had no luck...

Does anyone know where to find the hole plugs that go on the IX front bumper?

Attached picture for reference.

I think its for the IC sprayer? No go on MAP. Decided to call STM and am on the phone right now with someone checking with Mitsu on their availability.

Got them for 15ea + $6 S&H from STM. So $36 total for two little nothings haha And they only come painted white. Maybe this thread will help someone else!

And it wouldve been GG Richie

They cover the access holes for the bolts that hold the bumper on. When you remove your crash beam they are no longer their.

Why would you need to remove the bolts for the crash bar while the bumper is still on? I'm confused

edit: Also, the bolts that hold the crash bar on are not even near those holes, they're up higher further out towards the sides.

? Now I am confused. The plugs have nothing to do with the crash beam.

The bolts attach the bumper to the crash beam. When you remove the crash beam, they are no longer their.

This is the reason the IX bumpers sag when you remove the crash beam. You lose two attachment points to keep the bumper solid.
