Tow Hook
Are there any tow hooks for other cars that would fit our cars? The only one made for our car is the Cusco one and it is really $$$. Just wondering if there are other options.

Do what I did and get a TRS Strap. Cheap easy and it fits behind the surround so that you can put the cover over the top and no one will know its there.

You might be a ricer if there is a aftermarket tow hook hanging out of the front bumper. Or back for that matter.

Use the stock as previously mentioned. Just purchase a second tow hook from Subaru if you need both of them attached.

I was considering fabricating my own. You take the stock hook to the hardware store to check the tread and size. Find something you want for the actual hook, whether it be Cusco style or something different. Weld them together and grind it down to a flush smooth finish and paint. Sound easy in theory at least.

How exactly does that TRS strap install? I'm definitely interested in these for the track. Especially like you said, you can just tuck them away when not at the track.
