J's Type S Tow Hook Install

I am having my new bumper installed/painted and need help installing the tow hook so I can make the correct cut in the bumper.

Anyone know if the front bumper cross beam needs to be removed for the install?

I can't seem to find where the holes are for the hook.

Well, what does a Type S tow hook look like?

OK so it's the vertically mounted one, I have (and installed) the "regular" one.

Can't help you.

No one has installed a J's tow hook before?

I'm guessing from the install of my "regular" tow hook that you are going to need to drill some holes in the frame of the car. My tow hook utilized some OEM holes where the front splash gaurd / inner fender attaches to the frame. For mine I removed my AUT cooling plate ( or your OEM air diffuser) and peeled back my front inner fender liner / splash gaurd and went to work.

Good Luck.
