No, it's a tow hook in USA on front and rear. Now european models do have a lower 3rd brake light mounted into the black rear valance by exhaust.

actually, i did see that cap. i never saw it on the king site, but it's a silver mugen badge that sits a bit recessed in the hole. now that i think about it, i wondered how they did that... forgot about that cap. i saw it in an option2 magazine that was featuring a silver mugen s2000.
