Default Clear Bumper Protectant and Front Tow Hook
Hi,

I'm about to get full bumper, hood, and fender protectant tomorrow, the clear bra shield. I was wondering how you guys handled the front tow cover piece. I have a friend with a 350 and his clear bra covers it up and now there's dirt in it. Did you guys cover it up or cut around it?

Thanks

In my case the bumper section has a hole around the tow cover and it's covered with a separate piece.

I'm getting mine installed at Suntint in Austin, TX. Before you put them as a reliable shop, let me see the quality of their work and then I'll let you know.

Got mine done by Stone-X in Atlanta, arranged through the Lexus dealer. I'd use them again.
