2018 Yukon Denali w adaptive cruise tow hook installation

[TwoBigBoys n dog]

Has anyone added a front recovery hook to their rig?
They do not come factory installed but may be ordered as a pair. When looking behind the bumper at the receivers, the driver side is full of 'adaptive electronics' while the passenger side is open. GMC hook 'fits' but does not even touch the plastic shroud from the inside. The hook looks to be 3" -5" short of usefulness, even if I cut a hole in the wind deflector. Help?

So I cut a rectangle in the plastic shroud to the same size as the 'template' inside the cover, then went a 1/4" more on the top as I was still not able to hook a shackle or my ****** strap to the recovery hook itself. Now looking for a 'filler' or cover for the hole. "H" covers appear to be sold, but not for the 2018 model, yet. BTW....I have a black tow hook for sale...as you can only install one on this trim line.

Wouldn't 2015-2019 be the same.

What side did you end up installing the one hook on?
Go to your local junkyard and get an interior door trim panel, like off of rear or side cargo door of a ford van, cut it to fit your extra hole. You know, those textured black flexible plastic panels...

So...I installed the passenger side; still would like a cover/ something to close the trip hole. May have to mod one myself.

TY- The tow hook only works on the passenger side for rigs with adaptive cruise control. the driver side frame rail is filled with electronics. I will post once I have it finalized.

OT-
What do you have going with your license plate frame?

Nice BumpShox license plate frame. I just ordered one a few days ago.

I have a new gm piece with that hole in it. I got the wrong one the first time.... I needed one just like what I had, minus the plate bracket holes.

Do you have to take off the fog light bezels on both sides? If so, how?

What's the part number for the fascia piece with just the cutout on the passenger side? I'd like to do this install but I have ACC and I don't just want to cut a hole in the fascia I have. Thanks!
