    Has anyone attached the BPF Heavy Duty Recovery Tow Hook to a third gen sport model and still left the air dam attached? Can it be done? If so, any after mod pics.
    Thanks much

    I'm going to order the BPF recovery tow hook and do the modification to my air dam.

    It doesn't require too much modification of the air dam to make it fit. A few minutes with a dremel once the bracket is bolted up will show you how much you need to trim.

    I'll take a pic tomorrow. But it is pretty simple to trim and make it work with the air dam.

    Where did you find the bolts? Maybe I’m an idiot but I can’t find them!
