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.

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.
