It's really a judgment call, but it doesn't look like it to me.

There's only one way to find out 
Typically tow hooks are used on aftermarket front bumpers, and even then sometimes they can involve cutting the bumper. So while I'd like to say yes, I'm not 100% sure it'll fit on a 99spec OEM front bumper.

However, if you need to have your car moved from any place that is further than 1 or 2 blocks, I would suggest you flatbed it.

I think he was talking about when they put it onto the flatbed.

Mahjik, I couldn't have put it any better myself

So, this thread has actually confused me more than it's helped. Could someone (Ramy or Otherwise) please tell me whether these tow-hooks are beneficial to my setup.
Here's what I'm working with:
My car is a street/show/track car. I do have it towed around from time to time and I also have both a rear diffusor and aftermarket front bumper. Would it be a good idea to purchase the FEED tow hooks and use them instead of the stock towing points?
All I'm really looking for is a quick answer (If that's possible).
TIA,
Riz

Riz,
If you do occassionally (or more than occassionally) tow your car, you prob want these (IMO).
And AGAIN, ppl PLEASE REALIZE:
And AGAIN, just for good measure:
NEVER EVER tow or pull the FD up onto a flatbed etc. using the "stock tow point." THE FD DOES *NOT* HAVE A STOCK TOW HOOK! The "hooks" you're referring to in the front are called TIE DOWN POINTS because they're just that: tie down points. They're *NOT* meant to support the weight of the car. You're likely to cause severe damage to your front end of you don't realize this. See your FD Owner's Manual for more info.

They are NOT to be used for towing the vehicle for extended distances. I assume *no* responsibility for any damages incurred by misuse of this product.

3) The FEED two hooks should work just fine w/ the majority of aftermarket front bumpers. The spot where it hooks onto the front is well chosen IMO.
Thanks,
~Ramy
