Takata tow strap - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Any input on how to mount this to the rear. Went single exhaust and now going to use this strap to kind of cover the hole. Don't want to buy a cut out to cover the hole as I do not want to drill into the diffuser lol. Thanks guys

i had the exact same question because i thought the exact same thing lol. couldnt find any specific info on the rear installs... everything with pictures were just for the front. and i didnt (and still dont) feel like removing my rear diffuser and bumper just to figure out a solution lol.

Seriously, I've tried searching everywhere, typed it in a dozen different ways and nothing lol. I saw a picture of it mounted in the back. But it's just a advertising pic and it doesn't tell you how it was put on. I saw a couple threads for evos saying that they had to take off the bumper and bolt it Straight to the crash beam.. I'm feeling hopeless lol

go check out @wearelikewise on instagram, @JordanWho and his buddy are creating something that fixes your problem.

I have started a company called We Are Likewise and we've developed a tow strap adapter for the front of the car. This is rated and approved for real towing.

We have also designed a tow strap adapter for the rear of the car but this is more so for style points and is not rated for towing.

We haven't launched yet however our Instagram is the best bet for pictures and updates. Alternative you can visit wearelikewise.com to contact us with any questions.

Thanks for the mention @MrMarinakos

Is there a way for that to be inside of the cap itself, I kind of wanted to keep it that way, and cut the bottom out to have the strap poke through. Btw I've been following you on IG for awhile now haha, love your car man!

Haha thanks dude. I appreciate the kind words.

I assume you're talking about the rear? If so... Not really. If you're running an OEM crash bar there is literally like 4/5mm between that and the bumper.

You'd have to cut and modify the crash bar to make room for it. You could probably remove the crash bar entirely and run The Hooker which would work but of course, removing the crash bar probably isn't a good idea and not something Likewise would be able to recommend. That's for you to decide.

Let me know if that helps.

It draws a weird attention to that spot. And looks like a tiny ball sack.

If it's not for function, you can find a way to attach it to the inside of the bumper cap.

Leave the tow strap in your trunk until you need it and then use the factory mount for it.
