Aftermarket front tow hook?
Anyone know where to purchase an aftermarket front tow hook? There is a stock one that sticks through the grill but its too far back and cant put a strap on there without damaging the bumper.
Thanks in adavance

Looking for something like this?

If yes just google aftermarket tow hooks, go to images & click on one you like. Should take you to a site that may sell them. I see these two on everything from Hondas to BMW's

i think tow hooks are whack... make you look like a honda cause everyone thinks they are JDM.. some cars can pull it off others just look to ricer and enver get used anyway
but it does serve as a purpose when you have a body kit or something or at a drag strip where you dont drive in reveres and have a truck tow you back LOL
idk just my opinion

For time attack sessions or big racing sanctions above the limited class, you probably tow your car to the event, or keep it in a flatbed or truck container. Having the tow hook there will help you get your car in and out of events without damaging parts.
For anyone that does any sort of racing in their car, or is slammed to the ground, why wouldn't you get a tow hook? its just good planning and precaution.

ended up getting my towhook from roninspeedworks.com
http://roninspeedworks.squarespace.c...s-s5-tow-hook/
fits S5. I bought it for my S4 because of when I tow the car he factory hook is so far back in the bumper I can't get a chain on it. Had to trim a piece behind the bumper but fits nice.
Here are a few pics with my very dirty bumper. urgh, nats.

The only time the car is out of my garage is when I am next to it. If someone wants my car that bad they can have it. I have it appraised and insured.

i need this, my car is 4 inches of the ground and i have trouble accessing my tow hook. but i don't think its rice. for me rice is anything that is made to look functional but not functional. like if the hook was made out of paper or carbon fiber.

I have to agree, if you dont legitly need one, then you dont need to buy one. Especially since the honda's ruined it by putting them on there car and claiming its jdm
