Pulled up a hill off of the freeway.
Broke this tree off and outta the road.
Caused the beam to warp a tad
But is proof that your car will be broken and in pieces before this thing lets go.

John I think you might wanna bring more tow hooks than originally planned. I plan on getting a set while up there and hopefully installing them before the drive home. We'll see though.

How to install tow hooks.
Some basic parts include a 7/16 drill but with a 3/8 taper chank or use 3/8 bolts to mount. Or even easier a small drill for a pilot hole and a christmas tree drill bit works awesome I use 12 mm x 1.5 x 55 long. You would use 2.5 inch long bolts in sae measurements.
The Ion takes two "haverty" spacers for the front; it uses the long blade attachment. Your choice to use two bolt or three bolt fixing. I use two generally.
Offer up the mount plate, make marks and drill the alloy cross bumper beam. Ions are alloy, Cobalts are steel.
The rear of the mount plate should be flush to the rear edge of the bumper beam. That positions it correctly.
Use a good quality drill bit, at a slow drill speed.
Tape the Haverty spacers in place aligning them up with the 2 or 3 bolts you are using. Then offer up the mount plate and using nuts with captive washers or a washer and nut. mount it up.
If you have anaftermarket front grille on your Redline (they came without) cut a slot to clear the mount plate flush to the top of the grille, 1/2 inch deep and as wide as the mount plate.
Fit your tow hook and cross bolt.
If you wish you can have a lanyard and a quick disconect pit pin, or a color other than regulation red.
done.

I guess you've had the practice and it won't take but a few minutes for you to get done. People are trying to keep you busy that day aren't they?
