Default Tow Hook Access

I see where the front tow hook screws in. Is that section of the grill remove able or does one need a Z06 grill?

If you have the access through the rear fascia does the tow hook just screw in or is an adapter required?

The grill section is removable on my 2016 Z51. I would assume any car factory equipped w hook receivers has access. There is no adapter required in the rear. Just pop off the cover and screw in the hook.
