Sorry, I just noticed this question. I actually filled those holes in with alum mesh from a range hood filter. I cut to size and attached from the back. The hole on the pass side is actually providing fresh air to the engine bay. I cut a hole in the engine bay wall by the air filter (I have a cone filter) and used a 4" alum dryer vent hose to direct the air.

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sadly no. I should have taken a few pics when I had the inner wheel liner off, but didn't.
