thats not really going to make much of a difference in the cooling system. do you have an air dam? dont remember if you do from the other thread. looks like the front cover has been cut to fit the grill, look to see if those cuts will weaken it and if the foam is helping to sturdy it. only thing i can think of as to why its there.

Yes I do have an air dam and it's in tact.. So I'm stumped on what else it could be I've checked the radIator, hoses, coolent, thermostat, everything I could think of

There's suppose to be foam there. It's to help absorb impact. My car has it, but it's black from factory.

As a wiring pass-through for different options, maybe, possibly.

As long as your cars temp was staying within safe limits, I don't see why you'd really have to worry about it. I'd try to paint in black though, so it kinda blends in better.
