I have been researching what parts I need to add tow hooks on my ecoboost. I found the part numbers for the hooks, bolts, nut bracket. The only thing I am not sure on is the valance panel. It states w/Tow hooks and w/o end molding. What is the end molding? I can only find one as stated above however the non tow hook part is stated as w/end molding w/o tow hooks. Just want to make sure the part numbers are correct for me to add tow hooks. Thanks

I'm planning on adding tow hooks to my Lariat and was able to find a pair from a member who removed them to use a snow plow (whatever that is). My dealer parts and service manager believe the existing valance can be use by cutting out the area the hooks would pass through. They also think the valance has visible indications where the hooks would be if the valance were cut for the hooks. Hope that helps.

I want to keep it a factory clean look without having to cut them.
My favorite mod, thanks OP. I put them on both my F150s and it makes using my trailer's safety chains real easy. I finally got around to getting rid of the chrome as the black looks so much better.
