Zusammenfassung:	A bumper fascia having a tow hook opening and a tow hook cover is provided. The bumper fascia includes a perimeter surface surrounding the tow hook opening. A first shaped panel, a second shaped panel, a step surface, and a lip portion extend from the perimeter surface defining the tow hook opening. The shaped panels cooperate with a portion of the perimeter surface to define recessed chambers and two attachment notches. The shaped panels include elongated ribs sitting below the exterior surface of the bumper fascia. The tow hook cover includes a pair of wing segment having chamfered surfaces engageable with the step surface and a pair of L-shaped clips engageable with the attachment notches. The tow hook cover is pivotable about the elongated ribs to engage and disengage the tow hook cover from the bumper fascia.
