Is this the rear tow hook?
#21
No, that’s for all F-types, as far as I know. The rear hook is only used during shipping.
#22
The V6 and V8 rear tow hook covers are different shapes. A narrow spackling knife can be safely used to pry the cover from the bumper face. That tow location should never be used with an AT.

Thanks for confirming. I'm switching over to the OE quad diffuser and wasn't sure if I needed to order a new piece as well... About $90 shipped for that dang thing, but I did end up ordering.

If you still have it, I'll buy it... Or not best ask for measurements of reverse thread...!
I'm stuck on wet grass, front is two feet from wall and pointing slightly down. Rear tires are less than two feet from the road but still couldn't reverse onto it. Wheels spinning even after trying mates, boards, etc. Therefore, need slight help from rear toe hook/tie down under power to get onto the road...

I was told that towing using the rear hook is likely to bend the frame member it screws into due to the angle. It angles down because it is a shipping tie down anchor point. Pulling on it parallel to the ground would create torque on the anchor point. Makes sense to me.

There was one of these in my trunk too. Funny that we have an Aston Martin towhook that we should not use...
