I made a lot of purists angry. For the rear, I just leave the tow hook cover off.

Looks pretty stout & have never seen this version of hook before. Well done & likely it will never have to be tested?

I actually get towed often. just bad luck. I wanted to make it easier for AAA to put the car up on a flatbed without the chains touching the bumper lip but looks like theres no way. If ever i get the bumper refreshed I would just remove it before the flatbed arrives. I have removed the tabs that slows bumper removal

it might be useful if you put a note on it "Real tow hooks are under the front bumper"

I'm LOLing at what the expression on the face of the tow truck driver would look like if he joined up to one of those and then *snap* right off the car.

The hook flat bed's use is....quite a bit bigger lol. You'll need your own attachments if you don't want them taking that cover off.
