I'm using the OEM piece right now, as I've mentioned in first post, but I've also ordered the shaft of that Raceseng brand. I intend to combine it with the Sparco red tow strap I have.
I don't understand why Perrin would have a product line like this for show, to be honest, considering they are not a 'cosmetics' manufacturer. I think they should just remove it, or replace the material with something that can withstand heavier use. Oh well..

In Perrin's defense, they clearly state on their product description that it is not a real tow hook.

If your goal with leaving a tow hook on all the time is to convince others that you track your car, wouldn’t this product do the opposite of that. I mean I alway used to just smirk at guys that did that - now I am outright going to point and laugh.

Probably work fine if you cut an angle in that wood.
Or get some race ramps. https://www.raceramps.com/trailer-ramps/c/trailer/ |

"They" shouldn't do anything. You bought the part and then used it in a way that isn't accordance with their disclaimer.........what did you expect?

They shouldn't even be selling an aesthetic mod that looks like a mechanical mod...
Disclaimer or not. No way for a tow truck driver to know a component is/isn't rated for the purpose in the heat of a recovery...
