Might be easier from the back side.

Possibly. But even if we manage to carefully drill the hole through that fin in the middle, the remaining parts of this fin will probably make it hard to put the tow hook in a nice and tidy way (where it doesn't protrude too much).

Any tow hook mount sized properly for the car is going to clear that little fin anyway. You could just cut the whole fin off too. Not like anyone can see it.

the Pastel Blue color looks amazing! Does anyone know the name of this color? Reminds me of Porsche's "Miami Blue" paint color.

I just realized, the Toyota front bumper reminds me of my VR4 a little, probably why I'm attracted to it.

Best photo I have of the vr4 is also why you don't overdrive 200tw tires on cold pavement

Edit: seeing them this close, the resemblance is less than I had thought.

I see it, not a reach at all.

I've also been debating this, but I don't want to do many more mods to my car. It's really my DD & I'll be buying a new car for weekends in a few years.

0-60/0-100 times are funny, they are all over the place. Some manufacturers underrate, some overrate, so it is difficult to compare official numbers. Only way to be sure is test the cars back to back on the same track, on the same day with the same driver and testing gear. Anything else is subject to too much variance and uncertainty.

Whilst it would be great to see a full 1 sec improvement in the 0-100 time, I’m also sceptical. That’s a significant reduction for a fairly modest power and torque bump, but maybe it’s possible. More importantly the added torque should make the car feel stronger in routine driving. The twins were never the car to get for rapid acceleration and drag races from red lights - so many quicker cars around for that.
