Default Tow hooks

Hi guys,

I finally got my PIAA valance and wanted to install it today, but I realized I'm missing the tow hooks.

Can I just get a pair of ebay? --> tow hooks

Any idea where to find a new set? Will the hooks fit my 2WD, will they just hook up to the frame?

I don't really know about that valance but do you need tow hooks to mount it or does it just have slots for it?

They should just bolt up to the holes in your frame like where grill guards and what not bolt up to

I don't need the hooks, but I think the add a more agressive style and the valance looks stupid without them ;-) You can see it here http://www.rmftc.com/howtos/airdam/howto-airdam.html

You don't need tow hooks to mount the PIAA valance, but if decide to install later you would need to remove the valance.
