ZL1 Front Tow Hook issue - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I will look for the file today that ZL1 addons sent me. They sent me a template to cut out from the front of the lower grille as well. Also, I agree that this is a must have right now. I had to have my car towed about a year ago due to a pot hole right on the highway causing my rim to crack. The tow truck had a little bit of a hard time to get it on the flat bed. I then installed a tow hook and I used it a few weeks ago when I blew a head gasket to get it on a tow truck.

Had a mount for a stainless marine clevis made and welded it to the crash bar. Works well, no paint to scratch and it never rusts. I use it every time I load the car on the trailer ever since the wife guided me onto the trailer fender. I know, what was I thinking.

You're welcome. Glad you didn't have to buy a useless crashbar to find out like I did.
