99 front end - tow hook
 
I have a FD 99 front end. I want to get a tow hook but I do not want to cut the bumper. There is little information about this and even less on finding a product to purchase. Will this tow hook work?

I did find this post but the contact info for Contact ? Rennenmetal does not go through.

The other site I found is this:
RHDJapan : FEED Afflux F/R Traction Tow Hook Set FD3S

I have not found any supplier in the US. Can anyone offer any info?

He's also on the forums: Khan Racing

How does the front hook fit with 99 style bumper and air conditioning? Are any modifications necessary?

I stand corrected, the Feed hooks do fit with a 99 bumper. Just got my car back and did a test fit

The bottom of the hook does rub the bumper, but it's not pushing into it.

Same deal with my '92 spec front bumper. It kinda rests on the bumper, but it fits. I put a little duct tape there to keep it from rubbing my paint.
When you're at the track, make an arrow out of tape or point it out to the tow guy. It's kinda hidden and those guys are retarded.

Can you take pics from different angles? Front of the car etc

Too late. Thinking the FEED wouldn't fit, I sourced a different hook and it's now installed

Think there's a front shot in the link provided by Khan Racing

So it's confirmed that an "Authentic Feed Tow Hook" is the only option that will fit a OEM 99 Bumper with AC without any modifications? I also have a Greddy V-mount so I want to know if that is blocking anything. Thanks!
