Looks just like the EOC around here.
I do not own a CR-V. Sorry. I do have a 2005 Element.
My father in-law just purchased a 2007 CR-V and will be flat-towing it behind an RV. He purchased XL Brackets from Roadmaster. I told him I would help with the install. So just thought I would check the CRVOC to see if someone had installed tow bar brackets before. I would be interested in any feedback. But what I was really looking for were some front bumper removal photos and advice. I haven't looked at it yet but if it's like every other Honda bumper I've removed it shouldn't be very difficult. There's 1000 threads about this on the EOC! But none here that I can find. Any suggestions? Thanks...a loyal Honda owner.

Hondasuv.com might have what you are looking for.

Also, Collegehillshonda.com has a video on how to remove bumper to install fog lights. That might help !

Correct. Just follow the fog light install procedure. Some people claim 20 minutes is all it takes after they have done it once and see how it works.

Thanks. Viewed that video and it looks just as easy as removing the bumper on my Element. Two self tapping screws, 4 bolts , and 1000 plastic clips. Thanks again. I knew someone here could point me in the right direction. If you haven't been to the Element Owners Club site you should visit to see all the crazyness over there. Some serious mods. I didn't see that here.

Most CR-V owners I've encountered seem to be very conservative. If it is not allowed in the owners manual, it's not happening. :D
