There are 2 different ones that fit the new body style one is swept back further than the other but I believe they both have holes for tow hooks. I think it went by prod. date.

I did mine the same way and it wasnt really that bad just had to be a little inventive to get the bolts started.

Just put my new valance on...if you have fog lights (3 bolts and quick disconnect of wireing) its a whole lot easier to get to the bolts for the valance with them off.
