Tow hooks

Hey everyone, I am trying to find those red aluminum towhooks everyone has. I made one out of a Nismo towhook but I had to replace my bumper and want to upgrade to a direct fit one.

Any help appreciated

here is a great solution that is always attached to the car but is not seen and only removal of front license plate reveals the hook.
ignore the pictures of the loop fitted to the left hand side as you look at it as a better fixing positon was found on the right

Al might be too brittle and thin to tow with. I used these on my Evo.

I was towed at Lime Rock. Just used the stock hook under the car and it didn't damage my bumper at all. I'm also lowered a decent amount. If I had a lip on it probably would have been done in though.

I have an evo 9 bumper with a lip and an aluminum undertray, thats why I was asking. I like the option above, but I dont have a crash beam

Use a crash beam.

I say that even if you track. It can save your live.

Yeah a crash beam is a helluva lot cheaper than a IC, Rad, ACD pump, etc, etc if you tap a tire wall or something.

I bought my car all tore up a couple years ago. It never came with one. Plus Im running a huge ETS I/C setup, it probably wouldn't fit to well if all.

I like the idea though, thanks guys
