R-Magic Tow hook?
 

Hey guys, there used to be this R-Magic tow hook and license plate relocator for sale somewhere. I thought it was jt-imports but I talked to Jason and they say they never sold it. The unit is a tow hook for the front of the FD and relocates the license plate to mount on the tow hook so it doesn't block the intercooler/radiator area. Does anyone know if this thing is still for sale anywhere? Thanks, -Joe


(Here's a pic of it in use on Jspecracer7's car:)

Search for jdm tow hook
They are universal, but they seem to be of good quality.

I've had one of these on my car for years. Looked cool and worked great. Problem is...the tow hook BROKE...so now I only have a license plate mount now :mad:

Im here and listening.

Where and when did R-magic sell them J-spec? I cant find them......

jspecracer7 - That sucks that it broke - did it break from use or something else? Maybe it's not such a good tow hook afterall...lol BTW - great car!! I really like the direction you took on your car and your website(s) were very insightful.

jt-imports (Jason) - I thought they were for sale even just a few months ago somewhere...I searched the web and only came up with it on jspecracer7's sites so I have no clue where I saw them...

Thanks for the compliments...even though I'm just like a lot of these guys....a drag racer.

I bought it because in Japan, we have to have our license plate up front and I figured since I own an "unreliable piece of sh*t" I'd probably be getting towed a lot. Well, I FINALLY used it this last time I blew my motor(spun a front stationary gear bearing)...over 2 +year later. Basically, it's a 1/4 " steel plate that hangs down from the frame of the car and a 1" X 1" steel beam with 2 10mm bolts on the bottom and a threaded hole at the end. the 2 10mm bolts hold the license plate up, and the threaded hole is where you put the hook that comes with the kit. Well, I threaded the hook into the beam no problem and got myself towed appx 10 kilometers doing no more than 50km max speed(35mph). When I finished my rebuild, I put my bumper back on and tried to take the hook out...and the hook snapped. So now I have an $80 license plate holder:sad:

Jason, I found it in an old Rmagic catalog about 2~ years ago. I have their new one so I'll take a look and see if I spot it.

Ok I found it... Thanks... Its in the NEW parts catalog.

I just couldnt find it on their webpage.

jt-imports- Are you gonna/or can you get it ? Will you put it on your site?Or should i just PM you? Jspec- You can still use it as a liscence plate holder even though the tow hook snapped? We have the same liscence plate laws in Hawaii. I'm tired of donating 55 bucks to the state.:(

Ya....it's my new license plate holder now since it can't be used as a tow hook anymore. But now I have to buy a tow hook:)

The one R-magic has it both, kind of cool. Im going to pick one up too hehe
