Tow hooks

In light of certain other threads and vendors, I thought I'd let this cat out of the bag and help some members out. US made tow hooks for the FD (and FC too):

http://www.rennenmetal.com/proddetail.asp?prod=2120

Even though they say "no body mods needed" it does still hit slightly with my 93 bumper. They told me they test fitted perfectly on 3 other FDs and it fit so maybe somethings up with my bumper. The FEED tow hooks do not fit at all without cutting alot.

Oh, and these are less than half the price of the competition and made by a company that vigorously supports the Porsche racing industry.

When I had my stock bumper with the feed tow hooks, they barely touched, I guess it's different for every car....

I have these tow hooks on my car and they fit well (although I haven't had my bumper on since I installed them). I'm actually the one who asked rennenmetal to make tow hooks for FD's and FC's because at the time there wasn't a group buy on FEED's hooks.

Rennenmetal is a very reputable company. If you frequent track events then you have definitely seen their products on many cars.

BTW, I have noticed that sometimes they sell them on ebay for a lower price. Just a heads up...

Kai, you may have noticed that he used your car as an example in the instructions. I noticed this and I will be sending him pics of mine installed in case you don't approve.
