Tow Hook Bezels

2ndRAM · Sep 7, 2021

I was check out the tow hooks for the RAM Classic. I noticed that they make a Bezel for these hooks that fit into the bumper.

I was having trouble finding images online either with or without.

Do you think it's necessary to get the Bezels? Or will the bumper look dumb with hooks, without Bezels?

They're cheap, get them.

Probably not the worst look without them, but it's better with.

Definitely get them. I did when I did mine. They are very affordable and look great. Unless you want to try to cut a hole in your existing bezels, but that is VERY difficult to get right if you don’t know what you are doing.

Think I got mine from one of the vendors on this site. It was Mopar parts online I think. They sell the hooks and the bezels.

Definitely don't want cut holes in the closed bezels I have. I do construction but even so, anything I do won't look factory. I want a more polished look.

Looks like I'm buying bezels. Lol, I feel like deep down I knew I was gonna need to get them

Thanks for the feed back.

Anyone have any pics? Couldn't find any good pics of a RAM Classic online with the Bezels in place with hooks.

I got the bezels at my local dealer, if I recall correctly they were 40 bucks

I just prefer OEM stuff so I would check with Benny at Allmoparparts in the vendor section. You can get some aftermarket ones on Amazon for like $30, I just don't know about the quality compared to OEM.

These don't say they fit the classic but they do.

I'll probably get the OEM ones, they aren't much more. It's like a drop in the bucket at this point with all the other crap I've bought for changing bumpers.

Mostly because 90% of us don't have your level of skill of making it look really nice LOL. Been following your progress lately and you make **** look easy man!

These are the tow hooks and bezels I put on my 2018. I think they look like they came with the truck which is exactly what I was looking for. If you stretch the picture you can see the bezels. Sorry it looks so dark. Was the best pic I could find.

If you only knew how actually ******** I am, Lots of it is trial an error. Remember I only post pictures once im done .... lol...

I also cut the bezel on my previous 2012. Took a few minutes with a Dremel and then passed a butane torch over it FAST. You couldn't tell the difference. No jagged cut lines - it looked perfect.

Love that hidden hitch mount. Any details on install/frame mount?

BadHemi2014 · Sep 10, 2021

Late to the party, but here's a couple edited pics of mine. I don't have my truck at the moment or I'd take a better pic.
These are purchased because they were cheap on Amazon at the time. I will say that in retrospect I would have just cut the originals, you really can't see them or the cut lines unless maybe you had a seriously lifted truck lol.

Looks great. I want to go that route because I don't want to remove the bumper. What sort of bit did you use with the Dremel? Any other tricks?
