so i'm in the search for aftermarket tow hook options.. no i'm not trying to do it to look cool, but i think it would be a good idea to have one since i have a front lip and i'm pretty damn low. what do you guys do with lowered cars with lips and need your car to be towed whether it be at the track or street. i wouldn't want anything flashy. just something that wouldn't destroy my lip since its not as flexible as the oem one.
aftermarket tow hook options

I hope you get a good answer in here. I will be adding a tow hook to the front of mine when I get a lip. I saw my car get pulled onto a flat bed and cringed the entire time. I didn't know the front bumper was so flexible...and it needed to be.
i had the same problem with my first supra....and they sent the wrong tow truck. (i needed a flat bed) if you find any good ones, let me know because these wud be pretty useful to have with a dropped car.

my car didnt come with one! i want one too. some one should design one and lets get a group buy going at a machine shop.

Yea Theres a Universal one and one that bolts right onto the car. I'm sure if we snoop around the Jap EPC we'll find a part.
I'll try snooping our epc and who knows.

lol!
FlubyuX2 has one! We need to PM him, he hasn't been on aim for months.
But i'm sure we can come up with something on our own!

Like this. It won't bend or look out of place like the aftermarket ones do.
I want one higher so that the bumper isn't deformed by the strap when being pulled at an upward angle.
thats a great idea. my car has been towed quite a few times... especially recently. ive been through 2 stock lips because the tow destroyed them and im afraid to put my cfx lip on.

wait so those aftermarket ones... where do the attach to? i never took my bumper off so i dont know where i could possibly bolt one to

You could use the bolt on location for the factory one like I have. Driver side subframe behind the splash sheild.

That is certainly one option and a smart one if one ever finds themselves in that situation. However, I think the aftermarket tow hook is a good idea since you don't need tools or to lie on the ground.
Can't you go through the bumper to the stock tow hook? Or am I thinking of a different car?
And if your car is low and/or has a lip/bumper on it, it's still going to get crunched on the flat bed unless it's a super sweet one that can get almost flat.
Or am I just crazy thinking this stuff?
