Has anyone seen these two plastics?

Hey guys,

My dealer just delivered my new LS 500 F Sport RWD, right before Christmas! Yes got myself a Christmas gift!

Anyways, found these plastics covered inside the glove box of my car. Seems like these are suppose to be installed before delivery...

does anyone one know what these plastics are for??? The dealer that I got the car from is 100 miles away... don’t really feel like driving all the way there unless these are important...

Those are the body plugs, and they are supposed to have been put in when the pre-delivery inspection was completed. So someone half-assed your PDI.

allwheels is correct, holes were for trans-Pacific shipping tie-downs and the plugs
are to seal them up. Couple threads on CL regarding them not being installed range
all the way from increased wind noise to allowing deadly fumes to permeate your cabin!
Truth is likely even less disastrous than either of those paranoid thoughts...
