Takata Tow-Strap Install
 
Planning on installing my takata x speedhunter towstrap and was wonderig what other hardware is necessary for the install if I am planning on installing to bumper, such as size of washer/lock washer, and locking nut?

Are you actually going to use the tow strap for it's purpose or is this for looks? There's a perfectly fine tow hook in your trunk or grab some fasteners and nuts from your local hardware store. If it's to look cool just zip tie it and be done with it.

Yeah going for the looks. So zip tieing it would be the way to go?

I don't see why not if you're not going to actually use it.

Why not just paint your took hook any color and leave it in?
It's the same "look" but this way yours would look more heavy duty.

I would go tradicional red. With a big tow arrow sticker on top of it, cause you know like the real race cars have it. I'll do the rear as well.

On a plus side no would dare to come close and those in front would gladly move over cause they don't want that plowing into their bumper.
