Yep, my passenger side tow hook cover is gone as well. When I got the qoute I started laughing then about two seconds later I realized that they were being serious, I stopped laughing.
Thinking about making molds of these friggen things, everyone and thier mother looses at least one of them before learning the painful truth. If I ever replace mine they will be wired in, with a riveted cable catch....just in case!

Appatula, i can have one made for u, note that its not a perfect fit so to make it look good the guy tapes around its place in the bumper fits the cover and then uses body filler to match it. can u do that if i make u one?

So these covers are not teathered at all? I guess I have to add this to the "to do" list.

Anyhow, be afraid....teather that sucker on yourself, you don't get second chances with tow hook covers.Another important thing to add is that the jack hole covers on the side skirts could also be subject to this, although much less likley. I'm curious as to what they charge for these little shaped rectangles but I'm sure it won't fail to make my wallet run for cover. Teather these on as well while your at it...JUST IN CASE!

glad u found the originals and plz do make casts. As for fitting no he doesnt charge any it cost me usd50 dead.
Unless he uped the price, even so he wont go for more than 60usd.
He has a really good cast of the front and rear bumpers and side skirts and also the W124 gen2.
