The plate has two holes that mounts to either side of the crash supports where an almost swaybar-like support mounts that goes up and over. So yeah, that limits you to either side. This hook is "no modification".
Thinking I should make this my first mod since the car isnt here yet and they can add it before the splitter is put on. I just wonder how close that red is to Race Red?

In search of a R
does it have rubber bumpers to protect the paint or is the hook physically unable to swing back?

You can adjust tightness of the hook with the bolt going through it. Out of the box, mine moves when handled but isn't so loose that it flops by itself, so I just left it that way. The hook would make light contact with the lower body when pushed nearly all the way back. They included a tiny foam sticker for that point. I have PPF applied, it should be fine.

Is it absolutely necessary to remove the front middle splitter to install? Have no problem removing the belly pan but that splitter can be a bear.

Yes, splitter needs to come off along with the pan. Was a PITA to remove but went back on very easy!:thumbsup:

I plan on ordering a tow hook from ZL1 addon and was wondering if anyone has any experience on the track using the titanium tow ? Any problems/concerns with people who have used this product ? Is there a ford performance part (oem) ?

Thanks for any remarks
From speaking to LMR the ZL1 tow hook is for light duty only. Pull off runoff, tow on flat bed etc. That's what I am going with

I got my ZL1 tow hook before I got the car. Just waiting for the first oil change to put it on.

I'm going to have the pan and splitter off anyway when I take the car in to get the recall fix done (...whenever that is). I plan to kill two birds with one stone and add the tow hook then.
