A small but expensive add on, I really like the look of it but I'm not sure it was worth the $225.00. Let me know in the comments what you guys think.

Good job, their video leaves off the cover. They could provide a replacement cover with the part or like you said, provide a template.

I’ll consider it where they provide the hole already done and expand the amount of colors available😮

Good Video.....I agree Paragon should give you a template. I was thinking you could just leave the red hook part off and stored in your glove box or trunk until when/if you need it. Personnally, I dont care for the hook hanging there. To me it takes away from the front look. You could just leave the nut on, wouldnt be at all noticeable, and just have the hook part available when needed. Just my view....or would there be something not good about that idea. Thanks again for the video!

Looks sweet, but it probably cost them $5. Just bought the radiator guards from Chevy, good lord $400. But, you know, this is our hobby and fun costs $.

@@70elco28 thanks for letting us know. My 23 should be here soon when can I stop by? Install video looked reasonably easy but I'm sure I could damage my brake system with little effort. I've never changed brakes except on a Schwinn in highschool. I'm so screwed 🙏

@@davidryder5082 I show how to jack up the car on a couple of my C8 videos, but the short of it is you need what I call non slip jack pucks that go up into 4, oval slots in frame and drop down about 2 inches, that's where you place your lift or floor Jack then the jack stands can go on frame close to the jacking points

Never planned on using it as a tow device but it is pretty heavy duty I think it would do the job just fine, That car is gone anyway but I kept the tow hook so if I get another C8 it will go on it
