Default GS F Sport spoiled by a piece of plastic

Mostly venting, I really like my new GS F Sport, drives great. My frustration is the tow cover on the front bumper. Mine was delivered without one and the part ordered. Just stopped by and had it popped in, did not look right to me, but I figured Lexus is the experts so I let it go. By the time I got home, 5 miles, it was gone....

sounds like the first one fell off too. they may need to replace whatever holds it...hopefully not the whole bumper cover. that sucks OP.

isn't the tow cover on the F-Sport on a bend/seam?....it's in a weird place if I remember correctly....but maybe they all are.

Now thats weird..... !!!

Usually it snaps into place with two tabs...
Sounds like they didn't install it correctly before you drove off... Since "it did not look right "

They will have toorder another one for sure.. Make sure they are ordering for your "F-Sport"

Yes, another is ordered, but I still have a front end that should look good, but has a black eye.

Oceanracer, does your car have the front plate installed?
If not, take advantage.... I have seen front plate liscence plate holders that screw into that front tow hook. It may just be your solution.
