Missing tool?
Is a tool supposed to be here? I was putting in fatmat and on the right rear there is a cut out for what looks like a socket wrench but nothing there. Does anyone know what should be here?

If only there was an FAQ at the very top of this section where one could quickly find answers to questions to these sort of questions that have been covered a seemingly billion times before....

I'm not sure this particular topic is in the list. Is it? If not, how about a good thread suggestion to include it?

Originally, as posted above, only export C7 and all Z06 had tow hook receivers. It was a running change to add them.
My '15 Z51 was a mid-December build and has the threaded front receiver.
You will find a plethora of tow hook threads on C7 Z06 section... Some nice looking aftermarket ones are now available. The OEM GM are expensive due to their duty rating.
One in tech too...

Z51's built after Dec 14 have threads both front and rear for tow hooks. I have them on mine and I purchased a tow hook to fit in the slot in the battery cover. There have been numerous posts and threads on the tow hook issue.
