Default Tow Hook

I just purchased a used 2024 Stingray. Can't find the tow hook. Is it standard or an option?

If that is the one from the fellow in Europe, I think you will be pleased. I got one, and they are nicer than the GM item.

There are usually some in the for sale forum at any given time. I sold one a couple months ago, there. It's a $100'ish option, it does not come with the car. And yes, you can get them for less than that.

Tow hooks only come standard in the European models.

Here is the one from Europe:

It is the real deal working hook, not the knock off racer type that everyone sells. Took about two weeks to arrive, but the seller is a standup guy that stands behind his product. Shipping not cheap but still a lot better than the GM item.
