Proven Wicked rear tow hook install

lots of cars have the front tow hooks installed, but very few have the rears installed. i figured it was mostly driven by the concern of cutting into the fascia.
i came up with a way to install it without cutting the fascia and thought i would share my method.

That works! Going through the body is always scary and this solves that

Old thread alert...

Great writeup! The Proven Wicked site says this rear hook is not for the ZL1. I can only imagine it's because of the way they recommend this gets installed, versus how this great writeup has you install it.

Does anyone have this hook on a ZL1? If not, I'll be the first. I just ordered it.
