Thanks

What about working around a rear diffuser? I've been thinking about this.

I run a full front undertray (because I believe it DOES help aero wise and brake cooling wise), and a full APR rear diffuser.

I don't have ANY easily accessible tow points and my car sits really low due to coilovers...

I don't wanna have more damage getting towed out, rather than the offroad to begin with!

the tow hooks must bolt to the cars "loop" hook. So yes they will swing up and down with strain. As far as I can figure you will need to either insert a bushing or a backing plate so that the very thick washer can not be pulled through the "loop" when there is a side pull. Once the force is applied in line it is secure.
Also it looks as if an upward pull from the front would cause the hook to try to raise the intercooler. This would be the same situation if you used the stock loop to pull the car from, if you pulled from high up- although in that case you would be pulling the bumper up first.

figure the front hook to insert into the bumper just below the intercooler. the back would be sliced into the bumper level with the rear loop. either way anything less than a perfect pull would "strain" the bumper.
