the ebay ones fits perfect as well. no point in getting the hks ones as they are totally for show only. you cant tow the car from the tow points in the X cuz it attaches to the crash brace.

To my knowledge the HKS ones wont fit our cars. If you pop off that little cover in the grill, there is no hole. I found this out taking off the front bumper... as I thought it was a direct bolt in.

If you try to attach it to the aluminum crash brace....haha.. lets just say pulling 3400+ lbs on a thin piece of aluminum wont be a pretty site.

I dont plan on using it tow, sometimes its fashion over function...
