What's that round thing on our front bumper (I've got a base, but I assume it's similar on the sport)? You know, the spot that looks like a little cutout has been plugged up? Heck, I see it on a lot of cars and still don't know what it is. Some kind of access? Doesn't seem like it opens.

its for the tow hook, the tow hook should be in your jack pack with the lug wrench.

Anyone know if there is a licence plate mount that will screw into the tow hook area? I know they make them for G35's and 350z's but I think it would look nice on the Fit also.

funny you ask, cuz i'm in the process of mocking up a licence plate holder that just screws into that place, i got lucky to intercept my fit befoer the stupic PDI tech drilled that screw into the front bumper, and after getting a ticket for not having a ft. plate (the law here) i'm going to make a mount for there, it's a perfect spot and the a/c will run a little cooler in the summer without the plate in the way
