Could just put a plug in it or foil tape and undercoat both sides.

mmm, race car paint. That works. Got a link?

I was thinking about comp orange !

Carbon fiber dash cap,,, hmmmm,,,

as the list grows

[Garm]

That's true, in a race-inspired build, bare surfaces will show and can be painted.

I've done lots of carbon fiber, I'm thinking brushed or gun-metal steel on this one.

The Ratsun crowd should appreciate the efforts!

Garm,

I suspect those two holes you asked about are for the optional factory foot rest.

[Garm]

^ That's pretty cool, is there a picture of that? Anyone still have one in their car?

[notoptoy]

There's a thread on this in here somewhere.......

[spl310]

They are exceedingly rare. From all reports, they are not that functional, but I want one anyway. Just a neat esoteric item...

There's a thread on this in here somewhere.......

I thought there would be, but i couldn't find it searching "foortrest" and "passenger footrest".

Is there a posting of factory options, maybe a scan of a brochure or something?

^ Well there you go, and I even started it! Oldtimers disease.......
Hey, at least i knew there was a thread.

Now I know of which holes you speak. And I don't have a clue as to what they are for. Around here we have a technical term for those anomalies. We say "It's a Datsun thing".
As far as the passenger foot rest goes, maybe you could have a fold down one like on airline seats or church pews. Probably be good for breaking ankles in a crash.
If I now read about someone stealing hardware from a church, I'll know what that is about.
It's a Datsun thing.
