tow hooks in the way

[05chevyguy]

so i jst replaced my whole front of my truck from the head light housings foward and down.... i took out a light pole at 50 miles and hour. and thank good hit it dead center on my front right tow hook. talk about luck that pretty much saved my radiator back! but the telephone pole is gone. lol. anyways i was planning on installing a street scene ss bumper cover in its place. so i was wondering if the tow hooks will fit behind the cover or if they will have to be cut off or whatever involves removing a towhook. i also check and nothing frame wise is bent. god was on my side.

i think those tow hooks are either rivited on or bolted on. I dont have a newer truck, but by the way the new silverado ss front end looks, i dont think you can have the tow hooks with the SS bumper cover...im not sure though..just my

The tow hooks have two bolts. One on the side and the other on top. I don&#39;t think you could use the tow hooks with that bumper. I took my truck to a mechanic, and took them off in 5-10 minutes.

They are bolted. It will be simple.
