All you FDI's stuck in the mud of your driveway have been begging for this, so here you go!
I expect to see your install photo's. :banana: I've got my fingers crossed for you that you can buy the hooks and hardware.
Here's a front view.
Both holes are the same size and position. The hole could be cut into the plastic part of the bumper, but the front hooks are bolted to the steel bumper, as well as a bolt deep inside the frame. You would definitely want to get all three bolts installed, but the frame bolt will require removing the entire front plastic bumper (and probably more than that!), just to even see the head of the bolt.
Dimensions shown are colour coded, and are in a straight line perpendicular to the cut-out.

Here's a closeup. You cannot see the frame bolt in this picture, but the two bolts to the steel bumper are prominant. They probably attach to a special loosely retained nut that you'd want to buy with the hooks.

Same shot from a lower angle. One of the retained nuts has a tab that can be seen sticking out of the steel bumper on the right.

Here's one angles shot of the frame bolt/nut (see arrow), which will be a
to reach

Here's another angle of the frame bolt/nut. I think it's actually a bolt that threads into a loosely retained nut attached to the tow hook, but I won't be investigating further - you figure it out.

So, for the front hooks, I think the hardware you need to buy is:
tow hook (2)
bumper bolts (4)
bumper retained nut (4)
frame bolt (2)
frame retained nut (2)
I have no clue as to part numbers.
Good luck accessing the frame bolt!!!
REAR TOW HOOK HOLES ('cuz I knew you'd ask)
Here's a head on view of the rear tow hook. The cutout in the bumper looks trapezoidal, but it is not. The surface curves and makes the hole look non-rectangular. In fact, the hole is a perfect rectangle if you look at it perpendicular to the surface it's cut into.

Here are the measurements. Remember, the hole is a rectangle, even though it doesn't look like it here. The 3" and 3-1/2" dimensions are to the recessed indent in the bumper.

The rear bumper hardware (I know this, because I took it off for the hitch) is:
hook with pressed in bolts for frame (1)
nuts for hook (2)
long bolt to go into bumper (1)
bumper retained nut (1)
