OK, Thanks. I see the blur now

I was working on my rear bumper this weekend, and I was trying to figure out how to fit both the tag and the bumper together, and ended up notching out the bumper as I thought it would be too low to stack them.

Thanks again

Hey guys. I'm back on this again. I'm looking at the rear bumper from Classic Parts and it has (5) bolts and my rear bumper only has 4. What are you guys doing, just adding a spare bolt to fill in the hole? Why is there even a hole there unless this can also be used as the front bumper.

The stock rear bumper ( the at the top in this photo) has the hole in the middle.

I'd imagine that they put it there because the front one had one but there could have been another reason such as attaching a light weight hitch.
I'd say you figure to do what all the rest of us would and that is put a bumper bolt in it and call it good.
