There is a small square piece that fits into a spot on the right side of the front bumper. I'm not sure whatnot does but the paimt is coming off of it and it looks like it just pops into place. If anyone knows of this part and where to possibily get one could you message me? Thanks.

It's a tow hook cover that pops right off. Might be easier to just repaint it than to source a replacement

Do you think that dr. Color chip stuff would be good? It's literally pealing right off every time I wash it.

If I were you, I'd get a spray can of your body paint color from here: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/

I'd then remove just that piece, lightly sand it so its surface is smooth, and then repaint it. I'd also spray on clear coat. Then pop it back in the bumper.

That's interesting that you're having problem with the paint peeling. It may be a long shot, but I'd take it to a dealership and see what they might do.

I already did. They did some test to see of my car was part of the paint recall and it wasn't. They won't do anything about it. I did however find the part online for $7.00. I may just purchase it and pop it on

Bummer. :( But at $7, at least it's a cheap fix. 8-)

Is it prepainted?

I'd appreciate it if you could post the link for future reference :D
