do you mean the center cap that covers the tow hook access on your oem bumper? I think you should of told the bodyshop to modify the tow hook access on the nismo front so that you could fit the oem cap on.

Is your bumper the authentic one or the replica? I have the authentic one and the tow hook square from the oem bumper fit. However, I had it filled in regardless.

Nismo Bumper

Its Oem Nismo the problem is i got the bumper painted first so the thickness of the pain i think just made it enough not to fit it almost goes in i will have to shave some of the fiber glass

I wouldn't shave the bumper. I'd shave the tow hook square. Or try a heat gun on the square, then try to force it into the hole while it's still pliable. Have your body shop try the heat gun method so you don't end up damaging the bumper.

Word of advice, get that bumper clear bra'd!!!!
