Sometimes Aeuroplug or resellers run specials, if I can get one for $660 ish I will probably just go for Aeuroplug then

This one right here, you see how the tow hook cover area is a bit off, but I think the person said they just put the OEM cover back and it's good to go

Seems to be a bit of confusion here so I’ll try to clear it up. The orange car pictured has an ECS bumper on it and I agree the area around the tow hook cover is a bit off. That’s one of the reasons I went with the aeuroplug bumper. When I received my aeuroplug bumper I noted that the tow hook cover didn’t sit flush at first and one of the tabs for the grill was slightly off. This was due to me not pushing them in fully. I’ve since had the bumper painted and installed it myself. The fit and finish is great. Here is a few photos, you can see the tow hook cover fits perfectly.
