If it is a circle on the front of the bumper, it is the cutout for the tow hook. I'm not sure if you can buy just the cutout piece though, or if it would stay in if you got one.

You can find the tow hook covers on here. I saw one member selling one. Someone stated in his post that you could get it at the dealer. I am really not sure.

Get a bumper sticker. That would cover it.
Good Luck.

If you have the Sizzling Crimson Mica like your profile shows, you will want part #: 52127-21030-D2

Looks like it's about $4 from the dealer. But again, no idea how it goes on.

Its real easy to put back on, it has two clips on the sides and one long zip tie looking thing at the bottom looks like this

---------->

Yes a long arrow, it goes in through a little hole on the bottom of the circle on the inside. Its there in case the circle falls out in theory that will keep it at least hanging there till you put it back in. Just simply thread the long arrow looking thing through the hole, line up the clips and give it a little push, snaps right in no big deal.

Well the tow hook should be in your trunk, with the jack and stuff. That's why there's a cutout there - you only put the hook in if you need to.
