Heck, the $450,000 Porsche Carrera GT has one too.

The piece is easily removed with a key and if you don't want to scratch, try covering it with tissue you paper or your t-shirt. There is a screw in hook provided in your tow kit.

Read your owner's manual for gosh sakes!

If you look on top of your spare tire, there is a round hook that you can screw in the front bumper hole. That plastic lid is easily removable with your fingernail (it hangs as it's attached)...

there is another hook in the rear center, under the bumper...

In case you get stuck in the sand/or mud, somebody can hook up a winch and pull you straight out without damaging your bumpers!
