I some how had one of my lower control arm bolts come loose after 5yrs on the car this weekend and was under there replacing it when I noticed this:

*two open holes.
I had changed the oil back in Oct and dont remember seeing these open, but they may have well been. I am pretty sure there are supposed to be plates on em.
The car is still up on jackstands until I find a few answers.
a. what are they called (if i referenced part suppliers)
b. where can I get them?
c. any danger of having them missing?
If i cant find anything, I am thinking about cutting up an aluminum can to make my own and use RTV to keep them in place.

They are inspection covers. I ordered one (the larger one) from the local GM dealer after I lost mine for a few bucks. I remember reading another post recently about this also.
