Wanted: cover for those @#$!*^!& holes in the cover between radiator and bumper

Yes, I'm abusing the wanted section to vent

I'm getting really tired of dropping small tools and small car parts through those 3 holes in the plastic cover between the top of the radiator and the bumper when the hood is up. Then I've gotta go pull the underside cover again, and hope the piece didn't bounce somewhere obscure...

One of the aftermarket guys should fab up a little tool/parts tray that slots into those holes and covers the whole area with a nice level working surface

LOL. ^ Butterfingers!

Actually, in all seriousness, I usually use a magnetic tray and throw all my stuff in there. It helps! Of course, not all parts are magnetic. But it still helps like, 85% of the time. Just something you might want to try to see if it helps.

Throw a blanket over the radiator/bumper when your working, that will help stop things falling in.

Personally, I use the Boomerang line of tools...no worries.

Actually, to extrapolate on Semtex's play—get yourself a magnetic fender cover and place it over that area.
