2003 suzuki aerio front and back tow cover

[amy lyrock]

If anyone knows what part I am talking about...I am looking the little cover thing that clips on your bumper to cover the tow hook. And if anyone as lost them before and replaced them I am wondering if you have an idea about how much it cost you to do so. anyhelp will be appreciated!

Hello,

The front cover costs about $40.00 from the dealer. Get it through them because it comes pre painted to match your car color. I would guess that the back runs about the same. They just snap in place but there is a provision to secure it better so it doesn't come off as easily. There's a place to put a retaining bolt or lock wire. You'll see it when you install it. BTW, I think every Aerio owner has replaced this at least once.

Regards,
Bill

$40.00 for the rear one, perfect color match. Fell off again a moth later. I haven't replaced it.

G, I shot screws thru tabs under bumper on mine (advised on some forum) the rear can blow off under some conditions.
not so easily the front, tho'

Yup...if I ever do decide to replace it, that's certainly the route I'll go. My oldest son was using the car here a couple years ago and ran over a trash can or something, which tore the rear bumper cover just to the right of the tow hook cover. We just put some packaging tape on there to hold it all together. It's ugly, but it gets ya there!
