Holes in both front fenders...what were they for?

[twlinks]

I have two holes in the same place on both front fenders that I don't know what they were used for. They are between the wheel well and the doors and a little higher than the top of the wheel well. No rivnuts in them, but all of them had a rubber plug in them. I should have asked this a long time ago when I first saw them. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks.

That is where the factory would install the "Custom Deluxe" fender badge on the civy units.

I always thought this is where the factory decals went, the molded thick metal ones (they were plastic in the later years). I could be wrong.

Haha...there ya go...and if you really want the "Bubba" look, you could run a couple of sticks of all-thread in there for a place to set the chocks.

You MISSED the point, the cucv IS the wheel chock, maybe the all-thread to wrap the teather lead

I might have to get some of those. If nothing else to cover the holes in my fenders.

My 1008 has steel rivets in the holes.

No holes on my Cucv.
