In one of my previous cars, I measured the area right there, and went to Lowes and bought a small piece of plywood that I cut to fit the area, and mounted a n2o bottle there. Since the gas tank is right under that area, I did not want to risk drilling into the body and piercing anything. You couldn't tell the plywood was there, and the windows were tinted 5%, so it was hard to see the bottle as well.

As others above have said, its anchors for child seats.

Since I don't have children, I removed the anchors and bolted-in a box I made.

I own a 98 BlaZeR2 and I have 4 of those things in the cargo area. I use them to tie down all my **** back there. Although there are none in my 99 Camaro, Im sure they serve the same purpose. To bungee strap down your pillow.
