Default rip behind skid bar

What's with the rips behind the skid bars? :confused:

I have had my Y2k about 2 months now. I was changing the oil and noticed the rips behind the skid bars. Are they all like that? I got a sick feeling in my stomach when I saw it thinking that it was something that I did when I installed the frame savers. Can it be repaired?

That's the way it should be so you can pull the front fascia off. :yesnod:

They're all like that.

As Euro guy I still want to change to US rear facia. I found a facia on internet in austria and asked the dealer by phone to take a look at it to describe it. Here is what he said:
Man there are 4 fine holes for the lamps, but below left and right there are some ugly wholes. These must have been cut by someone with a knife. They do look bad, really.

I told him that these are the factory holes for the rear fog lights. I think he did not believe me. Same crap as on the front facia.
