Wow I would never have guessed that.

I have the NPP and the fuses were under my hood not in the trunk, am I missing something here

F8 is the NPP fuse and it is in the trunk for the 2013 anyway. I bet 2014 is the same.

And the only fuse pull I've heard about involves fuses in the under hood fuse box.

That's exactly what's for

I worked in the Oshawa car plant where the Camaro is built and that patch is actually there to reduce metal flex. Its a big panel and thin sheet metal and is installed before the elpo and paint process. That's why there is no paint under it. Recommend not removing it.

i would have guessed my other sock that i seem to have lost in the wash cycle. unsure if its during the wash or drying phase. please return it when you can. Having only one sucks.
