Default tow hooks...they dont fit

i bought some "jdm lol" tow hooks and they dont fit.
for a 4dr eg. i have all stock bumpers.

the rear one seems to not allow the 2 bolts to go through the stock tow loop thing. even if i did it would hit the lower black trim peice on the bottom of the bumper. ..

any1 have this problem?
any1 have close up pics of a the front and back (aftermarket) hooks on an eg or ej?

For the rear, only one bolt actually screws through your OEM tow hook location. The other bolt mounts outside of the OEM hook via the supplied mounting accesories.

Also, if you can, take a quick cell phone shot of your tow hooks and ALL mounting accessories so I have a better idea what you are working with.

Yeah cool put it on the radiator core support So you can rip the front end of your car off. And if its just for looks whats the use then? I'd say dont put it on at all If its not fuctionable.

He is right. Definitely not a good spot to mount it.
