Default J's front tow hook...

Will the J's tow hook clear a spoon front bumper?

From me eyeing it, it doesn't look like the tow hook will clear unless you cut the tray that guides air to the radiator or enlarge the brake duct inlet.

Spoon bumper lets you use the stock tow hook, no? Just paint the stock tow hook orange and call it a day

I got mine because the Amuse bumper doesn't come with a hole for the use of the stock tow hook, if in case I needed to tow from the front I'd need to either take the bumper off or punch a hole through.

Hey Frank, the J's tow hook will work with the Spoon bumper with very minimal trimming on the inside of the bumper where the tray guides air to the radiator.
This will give you an idea what it will look like.

Frank, here are the close-ups you wanted. As you can see, the Spoon air guide needs to be trimmed by a few millimeters for the J's tow hook to fit.
