Front Tow Hook Options

Hello,
With my new vmount kit, my FEED tow hook no longer works for the car. What are other options for front tow hook? OEM is not an option.

Thank you

Have the same issue with an aftermarket oil cooler install. Think custom fab maybe the only option

Pics of your setup?

Adam (Griffith Performance Engineering) makes front tow hooks in several different configurations. He has a vendor section over on RCC or you can PM him here (afgmoto1978) to see what he has available.

I would link his GB/FS threads from over there, but I'm not sure if linking to threads on *************.com is still a bannable offense or not...

I currently have a shine Feed bumper and HKS vmount. I would much rather cut my feed bumper than to cut my RE-Amemiya hood. I've been looking at the Griffin piece and that may be my only option as of now.

Adam produces (produced?) a tow hook that mounts near your oil cooler and works with the FEED bumper. I just kicked him a text to A) see if he still has them (he's gunna check for you), and B) give him a heads up that you may be contacting him.

Yeah... I don't think I could bear to look at my car if I had a tow hook sticking out of the hood, that's *almost* as bad as routing your WG's up there imo

Hey Jason,

I have one LH Version 1 Oil Cooler Tow Hook (sticks out more by 2in versus Ver.2). I plan on having another production run of the Version 2 in a month though, if you're willing to wait.

A couple LH/RH C-west Brake Duct Tow Hooks

And a lot of the Radiator opening tow hooks.

He's got pictures posted up on the "other" forum (google: Rotary car club) under his vendor subsection. I would just link you directly over there but any link to there just shows up as "**********" over here..
