probably because you bought it from ebay...

but judging by the picture, it seems like that is a IS-F tow cover.

You mean a tow cover. I don't think a new one should cost that much, or you could maybe go to a local junkyard and see if they have IS's in your color.

Judging by the reflector bumper edges and the size and location of the tow hook covers, it looks like that bumper is off a 09+ 2IS. Does the bottom of the bumper have a flat black portion? If it does, then its an 09+ bumper and you need 09+ tow covers as they are smaller than the 06-08 years.

yes, there is a bit of black plastic part on the bottom. Can u make pic of your is and check dimension of your covers? That will help me a lot. Thanks
