Has anyone got any pictures of their 2018 Mustang GT fitted with tow hooks?

I'd like to use the Ford Performance hooks; but, it seems only the rear hook fits the 2018 GTs.

Thanks,

DON'T use the FP hooks. Drilling out the crash bar is a bloody nightmare - I went through it and have never been more annoyed in my life. If you want to tolerate that and are confident you can get the hook perfectly centered (1mm off and you WILL notice), then go for it. The rear hook requires you to remove the reverse light, which is ridiculous and unnecessary considering you could just drill a hole behind the license plate for a hook. I like the Blowfish Racing design that clamps onto the crash bar. Expensive but it makes sense: https://lmr.com/item/TOW-15-000/mustang-blowfish-racing-front-tow-hook-kit-15-17?utm_source=google-shopping&utm_medium=comparison-shopping&utm_campaign=google-shopping-v2&year=2015&adpos=1o1&scid=scplpTOW-15-000%232015&sc_intid=TOW-15-000%232015&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgMnYBRDRARIsANC2dfmj_QqVgCe73Gv3D-A5PWntxfRE6Qjwn1uIFpGSkl4iSxc1SKE_ox0aAhVLEALw_wcB

The other tow hooks seem to bolt to very small bolts and I worry about their strength.

I don't think your tow hook was meant for the 2018s...?
I don't think you can DRILL THROUGH the front crash bar because, as it would no longer be crash-tested.
