If anyone wants a free and functional tow hook, go check where your spare tire/jack is. There's one there but not as fancy as the Cusco ones.

I really like tow hooks for looks and convenience. I plan on getting a nice bright red one. Probably the "TOW" decal as well. They are also useful for street use if you've fallen into a ditch or gulley.

So when they tow u up from behind with the tail hook u dont think the front bumper will bottom out?... And what if u have spun in the wet and they cant get to the rear? What then?

This car is low to the ground from factory especially with any body kit additions, or lowering.....

Funny how everyone is dancing around and trying not to say the "R" word.

I'm pretty sure the car already comes with one from the factory. It's with the tools next to the spare tire in the trunk.

For the front!?

norm24 08-02-2012 04:45 PM

Haven't really tried but the factory ones that come with your tools should fit either front or rear, no? Unless the thread pitch in the front and rear are different, which is highly unlikely...

I see one factory tow hook underneath the trunk cover... So that's the one I'll be using for my track days. Oh yes, I've learned from being stuck in the mud while trying to work on my car handling skills during HPDE events, lol.

Damn, learn something new about this car almost everyday!

Those to low to be towed arguments are bullshit!!!

Just about every car comes with a FACTORY tow hook that you can simply insert into the front when needed. You don't need some BLING RICER hook hanging off your car when you go get groceries or FWD e-brake slides to impress 16 year old girls...

That would be very very wrong - 16 year old girls??? Shame on you. 18 is young enough for me AND they're legal!:happyanim::happyanim::party0030:
