In the process of purchasing the hooks from my dealer and talking to a buddy who's a body man to cut the bumper holes out for me. I want the holes to look as good as the factory ones do and I have no business attempting to cut that cover myself and makeing a mistake. Skid plates done, front hooks are next. I will post pics when I can get this job going. My waiting will be on getting the holes done.
 
UPDATE

MY front tow hooks will be in on Monday but at a $140 each I thought they were a bit pricy:wow: I guess that's more painful than cutting of the bumper cover on a vehicle that only the first payment has been made on.

They also had the mounting bolts listed in the parts book and I have those ordered too. Thanks to whomever provided the part numbers for the hooks.
 
And thank you for the pics and measurements for the position of where to cut. The Dealer I purchased my Pat had a "07" FDII on the used lot (only there two days) and seeing it in person really helped too. Your pics will go to the guy doing the job for sure. Already have a hitch so the rear will not need a hook.
 
The hooks are here

Well I picked up my front tow hooks today after work. They are longer than I expected being almost a foot long! I'm going to see the guy this week about cutting the holes in the bumper and set up a day to do this. I'll take photos of the job and post them when done. I'm attempting to attach some pic of the hooks. Hope it works.

 
Hot dawg it worked! Here is some pics of my ride Too.




 
Did you read the whole thread???? Just picked them up today. You must have missed something.
 
Yes the holes are there in the bumper reinforcment I looked last night. Took the inner fender well out on one side to check. All the holes are there for the bolts. I will not be using the Bolt / body clip that is use on the bumper but I have a heavier (Thicker) bolt of the same grade that fits fine.
