that's the cover that pops off, and exposes the hole in the bumper frame where you can screw in a tow hook

look in the vinyl bag that has your spare tire tools and you can see what that stock tow hook looks like -- they give you one!

Don't get caught opening that hole ! I've heard squirbel's are on the endangered species list ! If you free it, you might possibly hurt it.
