It is in the front below the washers. On the passenger side right in front. It loooks like you screw something in there.

Default That Sucks! Just lost mine the other day in a car wash.

the dealer has ones that are primed only, you then need to get it painted. A true pain in the ***!!

Default question for you....

since you are the other local red ultra in the Rocky Mountain region that I am aware of...

How do you like the bumper without the sticker? I saw your pics, but how does it look in person? How did you take it off, any prefered method/chemicals needed? Please advise, TIA!

RT?M. It is for the tow hook. Like he said below vvvv, they are expensive to buy and come unpainted.

Default Ditto; but attedant found it. Now tape over before washing.

Also bought replacement from dealer. Painting the to match car is the expensive part. The unpainted cover is now in my glove box.
