3DPrintedCarPartDescription
This is a replacement part for tow hook cover (LHD driver's side) for Honda Civic 8th gen hatchback (FK/FN a.k.a UFO in some countries). This cover happens to be lost (or rather stolen) quite often. "Bazaar" price for a used part floats around $25, the OEM part in requested color costs around $60 (the other side version is cheaper though). Quite pricey for such a piece of plastic, especially if you think you're about to buy back your own cover from some shady offer or buy a new one and lost it again soon... The cover is not 100% exact as the original one - the original one is ideally curved to follow the curves of the bumper and has the mounting piece to protect against loss (but not theft obviously). This version is flat to obtain nice surface - that's why it was required to introduce additional side mounts to enforce the curving (a little manual bending might be required though) plus a hook to use a zip-tie to link the cover with the bumper to avoid accidental loss. The final version (blue print out) contains slight dimensions updates + 1mm cavity for better flexibility. Printed using PETG (the black one in the gallery).
