Talking Best thing to fill in the rear bumper holes?

I am not sure what to call this part so I cannot do a search. But I want something to fill in where the tow hook is. I have seen a few things but I want to see what everyone has used. I have seen the CTD piece, anyone got pics of this part on their car?

I used the one from Mopar/Chrysler. I wasn't sure I liked it cost vs style, but after I put it on the car I absolutely love it. Well worth the investment. All in all it cost me $225. That's Parts, Labor, and Paint. I also put them on myself, very simple.
I did a search for your CTD piece and came up empty.

Yes ~ I did the same thing ~ looks great. A nice addition for $185.00. Sanded and painted them myself ~ seems completes the entire rear end of the car.

I also used the Chrysler piece and think it fits great, looks great and was a snap to install (15 minutes tops). I was also able to leave it black as my car is black but think it would look good in black on most cars. Even most high end cars with rear diffusers have them in black when their bodies are often different colors ie. Ferrari. I also adapted a Tow Hook cover from a 2000 New Beetle to fit and cover our Tow Hooks. Cost is under $3.00 I believe and IMO it just finishes off the back. Its a little hard to see but you can check my Gallery to see the diffusers and tow hook cover.

The rear fascia looks great. Was it really that easy to install? What was the process you used?

It also looks like you put amber reflector strips on your taillights. Was that strictly for aesthetics, or does it have some purpose? Thanks for the info.

Check with your dealer or search the Web.
As far as the install. The instructions that came with them are stupid proof. clean your bumper, mark the where the holes will be. Drill the holes with 5/16th clean again. peal a little of the adhesive tape off place them in position, put in the pins. peel the rest of the tape press and hold for a few seconds. Your done.

RedCross was kind enough to give us a shot by shot install to help out, just click the link:

Yup the install was as easy as that and no those aren't reflective strips thats merely the way the sun makes the taillights look on a bright, sunny day.
Never even noticed it till you brought it to my attention.

They're called "venturi's"... They actually help the airflow under the car...

Nice investment for style and high speed aerodynamics. Anyone have links to online purchase would be helpful to myself and other members. Part #'s also...
