Easy to steal tow hook?
 

Ive been thinking about getting a Cusco tow hook but I'm curious how easy is it for someone to walk by and just unscrew it.

Use Loctite and nobody would be able to mess with it, not even yourself. Color red holds stronger than blue, you can buy them at Walmart. The only way to take them out is to heat them up to 300 degrees(for the red) and I think 200 degrees for the blue.

Going to look that up!
thanks

they can also steal your plate really easy too.. will people? probably not...

I live in NYC......

Tow hooks are mostly just for the look right? Aha ;)

I've never been into the tow hook look but they may serve a better purpose: prevent people from backing up and scratching my bumper. I have to see how far it sticks out.

Don't have to heat it, just hit it with enough leverage. Red Loctite is semi-permanent.

i just put my tow hooks in when i go to the track.

What ricer wants to steal some else's license plate?

stupid criminals.. that is a much larger pool then stupid ricers...

There are videos of people trying to steal plates, you will be surprised. That's why I am selling my tire hook.

You could always use lie super glue on the threads if your worried.

If its for track days, just put it on for track days otherwise if youre worried about it...dont get it. problem solved spend your money on something that isnt as easily removed

Just use the OEM tow hook. It's $15 to replace if someone tries to steal it.

Had to pull out the tow hook when I got stuck in the snow. What did the tow driver tell me when he saw it? "Yeah Toyota would give you a frickin' pink tow hook." Heavy emphasis on the frickin' as well as the pink.

Yup. They are very easy to steal. I live in LA and had mine for almost a year and they're still intact (knock on wood). But if they do ever get stolen, womp womp~. Buy them expecting they will get stolen. Otherwise, if you're the type to worry a lot about that kinda thing, then I wouldn't get one. It wouldn't be worth the headache.

Essentially what threadlocker is ;) Same active ingredient.

This^^


OP: If you're getting a tow hook for looks, just throw some paint and glitter and sparkles or some shit on your OEM hook and save some money.
