That should do it. I installed tow hooks myself on my truck and the bezels replaced the grill-type inserts the truck came with. Take off the lower front of the wheelhouse liner for easier access.
I believe there are 2 nuts and 2 push on type clips holding the bezels on.

60 mph winds yesterday, and some debris blew onto the highway. I THINK I escaped tragedy with “just” a cracked bezel at first glance.

Is it as simple as ordering this and popping the one one our? Any preferences OEM parts providers,

It's about that easy, but I think that part number is for TRX. If your Limited is like my BigHorn, you might need 68274701AB. You can theoretically do it without removing any other parts, but I found it easiest to remove the active air dam, only four nuts and a little electrical plug. I've had good service from BAM.

What I used on mine. I tried the squared one but it didn’t fit. I think that’s for Rebel or TRX bumper.
If you have small hands it could be easy to do with out removing anything. I was determined and had to Gumby my arm in there. Probably wouldn’t do it again. Lol. A light underneath will help too.

Mine had the active air dam delete due to supply chain. Is there still something to remove first?

Is the reference to the bolts for the bezel or the parts that I am removing?

Apologies for the wrong link. Googled it, and obviously got the wrong one.

I am guessing that watching a video on replacing tow hooks will likely provide guidance based on the feedback here. I actually could not find anything on replacing the bezel oddly enough.

If you don’t have the active air dam it will be much easier. There’s 2 bolts on top that go into the square piece to secure the bezel to the body. Like a sandwich, body tab in the middle. They are 8mm iirc.

A little bit hard to picture without a video or pictures, but bottom line is it sounds like it is easy. I will order it tonight, thanks for the guidance.

Bummer, but could be worse!

Welp, was quick and easy. Oddly enough it doesn’t look like it was damaged so much as it was bumped back. unfortunately my bumper had some light damage.
