Does the instrument sticks (for lights and wipers etc) illuminate ? I just had some work done and I can't see these sticks in the dark I can't remember if they are suppose to illuminate or not? Maybe fuse ?

Does the 2010 xfr have a cover over the acc sensor on the lower grill or is suposed to be open space ?

I don't think that stick illuminates but there should be a cover. Here's my 2010 XFR:

Huh, that's funny. My XFR doesn't have that cover on the front grille. On the opposite side it has a little port that swings open to reveal the plug for the block heater. Not my car but shows what im talking about...


What's behind that big cover?

If you're talking about the round one in the bumper cover on the left side of the photo it's the cover for the tow hook mount.

No, I'm talking about the huge cover in the lower grille in MarkN's photo which is what the OP was asking about. Here is a better pic of it. As mentioned in my post I don't have it but instead have then lock heater plug on the opposite side.

What's an acc sender? Is it for the adaptive cruise control option?
