Missing tow eye cap?

This morning went to the car and saw what I think is called a tow eye cap missing. Does anyone know the exact part number or of I can get the replacement. It is on the lower right honeycomb grill. Dumber question - is the tow hook missing as well? Wonder if I got jacked
(see pic)

I've been marking living in NY all my life and maybe has happened once or twice.
Anyhow, any clues to whats actually missing, cap or something more?

The tow hook is stored in the trunk with the spare tire tools. Don't know the part number but a dealership can order the cap.

Thanks, went to look to ensure =) was paranoid. I looked at oem parts site, and found a cap but it was for sedan. I will probably make it to dealership next week. Thx

the only problem is i don't think you can buy just the cap...they'll probably make you buy a brand new bottom grill...

Would hope that's not the case as it is a part on its own. Bottom grille would be over a $100, and cap about $10.

Even with the tab that fits into the front fascia in front of the tow hook, is the silver ring supposed to be visible or not through the tow hook honeycomb tab?

I never really looked until it went missing, but think it was not. However I have X and look as you have S model. Obviously different fascia in term of the grill. I have no fogs and only a basic honey comb grill (left and right). You got the center with two fogs around it. Maybe more visible.

Went to dealer for some other service and they said that on 2011 sport the silver ring is visible behind the tow hook cap.

On the 08 sport the tow hook cap has a backing that hides the silver ring

So after a month, I was able to pick up the part on-line. Had no time to waste my energy at the dealership.

It cost $12.85 plus S&H. Thanks to the guys at infiniti parts usa for a quick turn around on the special order.
