Hey guys i have two questions that I can't figure out for myself. To my knowledge, the tow hook access is through the little black flap in the black front bumper. Is this true? i tried prying it up but its tight and I'm afraid Ill snap the thin plastic. Diagrams, pictures, videos, or links are all helpful.

My second question is I was thinking about painting the metal strut bars between the grill and the radiator; however, they are difficult to access. Is there an easier way than taking off the front bumper? All input is appreciated and again, pics, videos, and links are much appreciated. Thanks guys!!!

 

I believe you push one side and it just flips out.. Didn't need and special tools to get mine off.
