    Ah gross.

    Maybe it was trying to nest. Looks like it has been there for a while...

    Yeah, it's messed up. Especially w/ all the plastic guards under our cars. It had been there for a while, as it was totally dried up, and really stuck to the bumper....EWWW

    It looks like its small enough to fit into one of the honeycomb mesh openings. Those tiny birds are pretty flexible.

    Or...

    Boogie hit the bird while driving and it went right into the hole.

    I had filed mice living under my engine cover last winter. All I found was a lot of mice poop and dried gras between each ignition coil.

    I would've noticed if I'd hit it for sure. Like someone said, it was probably trying to find someplace to nest, and got stuck. LOL.

    Surprisingly, no smell. I don't know if it's just because it was outside or something.

    LOL. The bumper was off, b/c I was swapping out my OEM HID bulbs w/ 6000K ones. Jimmy also swapped my tranny fluid to MT90, and he installed the TWM SS kit.

    You're just lucky a raccoon didn't decide to just spontaneously jump in front of your vehicle. I'd take dead mystery bird any day!

New mod: replaced original Gt bumper with a new one without plate holes. Relocated plate. (Thanks raccoon!)
