Has anyone bought the JDM crash beam and installed a functional tow hook that way? It seems to be 'common knowledge' that it works but I haven't run across anyone that has actually done it.

theSin on the other forum bought the beam but hasn't found a tow hook that works. A rep from japanparts says that they've sold quite a few to North America, so somebody has them.

 

I just removed my crash beam and then installed my tow hook.

 

The 8 and X are different as far as bumpers and crash beams go. The DIY solutions that I've seen for the X didn't look too sturdy and the others took some tig welding skills that most people don't have. The JDM crash beams are already threaded.

 

oh ok, I didn't know they were that diff.

 

Uhhh son I believe did it on his ww x see if you can get in contact with him is your best bet!

 

Thanks for the tip but his account is disabled or he doesn't accept PM. Hopefully he'll see the thread.

 

also you can check on evoxfourms.net probably alot more answers there

 

Nope, that's why I asked here.

 

no front crash beam, scary. My WRX is like that as well with the front mount.
