Hi Todd,
You may be looking for a hen's tooth. I suspect one can be purchased unpainted at a dealer and with a little factory color touchup paint it can make for a satisfactory replacement.

The Arctic Silver painted tow plugs are also "impossible" to find.
PelicanParts wants $15 for shipping for something that weighs less than 5oz. That up-charge is ridiculous.
Bumperplugs (not available in Arctic Silver) want $179?!!!

I'm tempted to look like a fool and drive around with the tow-hook in place.

Why not just buy a plug and paint it? Super easy job. I get all my paint from automotive touchup. Even if it's off a bit, it's such a small piece...

Hi Doc,
I have called Pelican Parts and requested a part the sent US Postal first class mail at a significantly lower cost and they have done it.
