I'm looking for a tow hook for my BRZ and I want a cheap one just for looks, any idea if this one fits?

My friend bought a similar one for his honda si.
It fitted his because the hole on his car isn't as far back as the frs or brz

I tried it on mines, and it couldn't even reach the screw socket

The one you want is only 4 inches. it probably won't fit.
If you want a Tow hook, I recommend Cusco, even though they are pricey, they will fit!

I just can't believe that someone in Dubai is cheaping out on something.

Probably won't reach out all the way for the front.
Should be okay for the rear. But seriously, don't actually use it when the time comes. I tested a slightly cheap to decent priced one before actually loading it up onto the bed and it sheared. Your trunk has an eye hook for the actual purpose, beside the spare tire. Either that, or use the hook points on the bottom of the car when you actually need to tug it out.

I'd steer away from that if I were you if you want it just for looks still.

I've bought a bunch of stuff from China. It'll do it's job, just don't trust it. Though, the anodized stuff that comes from China WILL eventually fade into a dark brown/copper color.

The stock tow hook will probably do a much better job than the Chinese tow hooks, Cusco sounds like a much more solid idea if upgrading...

Don't ...

But if it's just purely for looks go ahead.

(color is likely gonna fade faster on those)

And make sure you grab the one from the trunk when you are actually getting tow. Or BAD THINGS WILL happen.

I know some shop there sells metal AC knobs for our car, those are good buy.
