I lost my Tow Hook cover :(

At the track last weekend, two items disappeared into thin air:
1) The bag for my folding chair
2) The bumper cover for the tow hook

I could have sworn I put it somewhere safe but I've looked all over and can't find it. It will probably turn up in 10 years when I'm cleaning the garage.

In the meantime, how can I find an inexpensive replacement?

My short term solution was to buy a cool looking tow hook. So now I just have it hanging out for street use. But obviously I still should procure a new tow hook cover plate.

Thanks,

Try IND.

Did you loose the front or rear cover?

Thanks,
Protip: always throw your hook covers in your glove box. That way they are never separated from your vehicle.
