Same here. Although, I don't think there that many washers in mine. I think there was one. Now I have to go double check that.
So how was the install? Any pics? I’ll be emailing them soon about getting some instructions maybe.
Super easy. There are some pics at the start of this thread.
I bought the tow hook, with the camera mount right after Christmas. Finally got around to getting installed this weekend, so here's my write on that, since it doesn't come with instructions.
1. I backed the car into the garage, with the front wheels just over the lip. I was hoping I could use the slope of the driveway to get me enough room under the car without jacking it up. Wasn't enough. We jacked up the passenger side just enough to get the wheels off the ground.
2. Remove the either 17 or 19, can't recall, 7mm screws that hold the belly pan on. there are also 6 plastic push pins that need to come out. You can probably get by with just doing the passenger side, but it's not that big of a deal to take the whole thing off, so off it came. (Guess i didn't get a pic of that)
3. Once that is off, it's pretty straight forward. You have to remove the two 13mm nuts
3. You also need to unplug this plug and move this wire bundle. Edit: **The radiator support bracket needs to come off of the bolts, then the tow hook bracket, then the radiator bracket goes back on, and then bolt it all down. Don't just slip it over the bolts, like someone, who shall remain nameless did**
4. slip the mounting bracket over the two bolts and re-install the nuts. loosely, so make sure everything lines up on the front side.
5. Once you have the post for the hook started, tighten everything up. I did not have to trim any of the grill. YMMM.
6. Re-stall the belly pan, and tighten up the hook and post, and you're good to go.
My younger son helping out.
I plan on removing the post, moving it to the lower of the two mounting holes shown in picture 3, so i can get the camera mount on and adding a little dab of blue Loc-tite to everything.
The whole thing, start to finish, including time hunting up an extra 7mm socket and going back and forth on wrench sizes for the bolts, took right an hour.
There is absolutely no need to remove the front bumper, as shown in just about every video on-line.

Nope. But it's super easy.You mean a tow hook had to be added to the C7 ? I thought that was stock on those cars....
Did you remove the bumper for the install? If you didn't remove the bumper, was it hard to get the radiator support bracket out of the way?
I have a PP2 and didn't remove the bumper when I installed mine, not hard at all. Just a little tight as far as room to work goes but very doable.
