Default Rear Tow Hook... possible?

I recently purchased a 2006 Lexus is 350. YES I am in love with this car. I am a ricer at heart and don't plan on doing too many mods with this car but would love to know... who here has attached a rear tow hook and how did you do it? It's a pretty standard sized tow hook

So yeah.... im really hoping I can make this happen. Thanks in advance !!!!

Did some googling and found these pictures. I believe you take out the small tow hook covers with a small flat head (careful not to scratch the paint)
Look inside after and you should be able to figure out how to install it with the parts provided.

Hmmmmmmmm. Whats the point of that thing? It will look silly if your car is stock. IMO. But to each their own.

There are already holes in that back that you can install tow eyes. Lexus doesn't recommend you tow stuff with it though.

Forget about how it looks, this is subjective...
But wouldn't that easy towing your car away from you ? You never know what could happen!
