Description

Does your 5G Ranger have tow hooks you wish were a different color but you don't want to deal with replacing them? Then a simple cover is probably what you're after. These are a slip on style cover and should be pretty snug fitting.

These aren't really tested in terms of durability yet but they seem to fit my hooks well. I wasn't planning to upload these until I had some time with them to verify they stay in place as is, but I've been asked by multiple people for the file so this is a use at your own risk sort of print. Share your feedback please as I do intend to update them when I have time to do so.
