Default any1 using Tow Straps instead of Tow hooks?

can these be installed a C6?

i can probably mount the rear strap where the muffler hangers are, but what about the front? do i need to drill a hole or is there a hole that can be utilized?

front is super easy just drill a hole that lines up with your grill and get a grade 8 bolt and a washer for inside the bumper...

Back i went with a hook, due to the proximity of the heat and possibility of the strap's inegrity being compromised...

I opened up an existing square hole in C5 bumper and used 1/2" bolt that came with my strap.

Make sure you use a heavy duty washer and/or add a backer plate as that bolt will easily pull threw.
