its for teh tow hook so you can get pulled onto a flat bed with out damaging the body panels. theat happens enough in an accident.
push on the cover where the arrow is on the bottom. it will come off. in the trunk area, where the spare tire is located is the hook. you then thread it into the bumper and you can be pulled on to a flat bed. before they would attach the hook under the car, but with the plastic body panels being so low, it hard to do with out an ugly U hook or without damaging the panels. so this eye of a needle looking thing is what they did. there are loctions on the front and rear for it.
