Holes

What the hell are these things and how the hell do I fix this blemish on my beautiful baby? I think you can see in the picture it looks like one of the tabs are bent. Depending on what they are for, I am not above using some super glue to get this deformity right again.

Tow hook locations. You can probably just get a new cover piece from someone parting out their car.

Where a tow ring goes. Go ahead and glue it up.

LOL

An FRS has towhooks and there's no place to hook bungees to put a canoe on top of my stupid Odyssey... AT ALL.

So where can I get a replacement? I couldn't find it on the https://parts.toyota.com/ - anyone got a decomissioned '14 FRS that wants to give one of these up?

Thanks all. Any trick to getting the old one disconnected and the new one connected as far as the "string" that holds it on?

It has a little fork on the end. Squeeze the fork closed to get it through the hole. Or just yank it if you're replacing it anyways

Cut it, push it in and pull it out the back.

It will be self-evident when you see the new one.
