i've seen some expo's with little round covers over the hitch holes in the bumpers by the licence plate. I was wonder if anyone has gotten one of these from ford and if so how much, i looked at ford parts network but it wasn't under rear bumper....so go figure....

Why dont you just get a ball hitch to put in there. So what if you dont use it. they are about $8 from parts store.
 






they get rusty after a short time and i am going for the sport look and i never tow anything ever
 






The hitch plugs can't be more than $10 from Ford.

I've had mine on for quite awhile and it has yet to get rusty. And I have used it. It was somewhere around $7 at Kmart.
 






Hey if you like to hunt or camp my father builds inserts. He makes them from steel and he has Elk, Moose, and Deer inserts. They are really cool but they are kinda pricey. Just e-mail me if you are interested.

I think you're talking about a receiver cover. There is a hole in the bumper for a ball. And it comes with a plug that goes in if you don't want to use the hole. Thats what he's looking for. I think
 






Well if you want send me the money for a ball ($8) and I will send you my plastic piece (its painted black). Im sure thats cheaper than ford will sell it to you for.
