Square Piece on Rear Bumper
There's a small chip on the square piece on the rear bumper (not sure exactly what it's for). Paint would kinda work, but would not fill in the hole properly. I'm not sure what it was, maybe a rock?
Anyway, can this be replaced? Or any recommendations on how to fill the missing piece before painting?

Not at the moment, will try to post one when I get home if further clarification is needed.
This may help though. I'm talking about the square piece above the right side exhausts. There's basically a small nick, and under the paint, the piece is white so it's noticeable, and I cannot just paint it because of the small piece missing.

I would suspect that piece is replaceable. Call your dealership's service department to confirm. If essentially what you're looking at is a large rock chip, touch-up paint can only do so much. I'd get it repainted properly or replace the piece altogether.
Good luck.

Finally got a reply from the guy in my Parts dept.
If anyone cares, the piece is called a rear tow hook cover. The part itself costs 25.38 and does NOT come painted.
thanks
