I thought the hole in the backout was for when they used the grapling hook, however that is spelled...lol. I was watching a episode of KR the other day and I noticed one car that had all those screws in the backout to hold it on. Could have been one of the many cars they used in the show...who knows.

The first time we saw the grappling hook, it shot out a hole in the middle of the rear blackouts ("Not a Drop to Drink"). Later on, it seemed to come out from underneath the front and rear bumpers.LuvKITT wrote:I thought the hole in the backout was for when they used the grapling hook, however that is spelled...lol.
It's just as likely the hole was so they can open the trunk.

HEY ALL!
AFTER SCREENING VARIOUS SEASON OPENERS FOR JUST ABOUT ALL EPISODES....THIS CAR IS NOT FROM THE PROMO FOOTAGE....
THE MICRO LOUVERS FOR THE FOG LIGHTS ARE CLEARLY VISIBLE IN SOME FOOTAGE SHOTS (segments with the classic voiceover "Michael Knight...a young loner..."-or-" One man can make a difference,Michael...")
AND NOT ON THIS CAR. sorry 'bout the caps- buttons stuck /old board.
still a great looking car.....I'd love to repair it! WOULD'NT YOU....? or -if given the chance,reprogram KARR....?

The nose is a season 3/4 bumper. They didn't even bother to cut out
the openings for the fog lamps either. The car looks to be an 82/83.
The key hole in the gas cap was an option they came with. Mine has (had)
that. The hole in the taillight blackout of for the rear key hole to pop the
hatch. Obviously might not have an auto popper or they woudn't have
needed that.
I agree that this is one of the cars the Hoff had brought with him oversea's
for his Knight Rocker tour. A basic outer conversion with a dash of some
kind in there.
You have any pictures of the inside of it? that would help identify what
they used for parts other than that later version nose.
