Default tow hook

a friend bought himself new fancy-assed tow hooks for his 2017 Z06.
He was going to give my his OEM tow hook, then stated,
"i don't think mine will fit your older 2014"

anyone have any thoughts on this?

thx

I believe that you have to have the Z51 package for the "hook ups". If you have that, you're good to go.

IIRC the tow hook receiver was not included in the C7 until sometime during the 2015 model year.

The base 2014 does not have the receivers for tow hooks on the car - at least mine does not. Mine was an early 2014 so not sure if they were added as the model year progressed or not.

I have a 2015 non-Z51 and it does not have the tow hook attachment point.

Tow hook from Paragon :
The Z51 built before December 2014 may not have the OEM receivers, we do offer receivers for that Corvette.

i found this statement from a vendor

Stingrays made before 12/14/14 or non-z51 C7 Stingrays do not have OEM tow hook receivers.
