Tow hitch cover

Hey all,

I noticed last night that I'm missing the cover on the front bumper. It's the one where the tow hitch screws in. Any idea what this is actually called and if I can get one pre-painted? where would I find one, dealer only?

TIA

I remember seeing a chart of the bumper assembly and they called the cover a "tow eye cap". Depending upon the year of your car, the part number might be 23088506239040. I searched around online a bit. It looks to be available at any number of online stores. You may want to confirm the part # and color by talking with customer service and have them verify with your VIN.
