tow hook hole ?

guys, this bothers me everytime i wash my car ... but there is a small hole in grill thing on my front bumper .. right at the bottom

my guess is that its for a tow hook or something, but i really havent looked closely enough yet ... so my question is .... do all cars come with that hole or am i missing a plug or something ??? if so, where the best place to get it at ?? thanks !

umm if your talking about the hole underneath the grill on the "mesh" part..that is more towards the passenger side(when looking at the car head on)..then yes thats the tow hook hole..and there SHOULD be a cover there that matches the rest of the "mesh"

^^^what he said, go to the dealer and tell them that it's missing (should be free of charge) Somebody had the same problem/curiosity on here before, can't remember who

I didn't notice this "hole" area on my car until I read this thread. Mine has the cover which can be removed which I didn't know.
