Make your stock tow hook stand out

Whether it be for aesthetics or to make it easier for track crew to find the hook should they need to ... Paint it!



Much cheaper than buying a "designer" hook lol

If the track crew can't locate it in stock form, they probably shouldn't be towing any car.

Stock silver tow hook is probably easier to find on a black car anyways

like NemeGuero said, the HOOK is in your car, you screw it into your BUMPER after you remove that little square tab you've probably never noticed until today.

Oh I though the rep was saying "who doesn't have a tow hook installed on their front bumper for looks".

Anyway to OP good job tow hook looks pretty good
