Tow hook??

From searching I found out a few companies (RE-A, R-Magic) sold them but I couldn't find a picture or a place to buy them. Does anyone know a site to purchase from or any more info?

I'd love to find the ones that go with the C west bumper myself. Hopefully we'll get some answers?

I have asked this question before, but no luck. Your best bet is to have a custom one made.

I was originally going to go w/ the R-Magic one, but apparently it's kinda wimpy. I need something heavy-duty and that will bolt up directly to the frame itself. I went w/ the Fujita Engineering (aka FEED) tow hooks. Prob is, they sell them in pairs only, so you have to buy the front and & rear together. Oh, and did I mention FEED is expensive? lol

Pat and 7-sins (forgot your name, my bad), before you ask, no, I haven't installed it yet. That's last on my list. I have the C-west front end, so I'm prob gonna put it either in the real small duct (in between the main airdam and the oil cooler ducts) or right on the very edge of the main airdam. Here's a pic of them:



They're about $95 US from FEED, then factor in tax, Customs, shipping, blah blah. I think I paid somewhere around $120 or $140 for them...I forget.

I'v seen a towhook made by mitch piper. It was extreamly nice. I really need to get a set for my car. Most tracks around me won't even let you on the course without hooks for certain events.

No, unless you just want it for a plate with a big hole in it and are willing to cut and drill.

I'd ask Kai re: the install. I haven't installed mine yet. But there are several mounting options, even if they require slight work such as making a bracket for it. Worth it IMO to be able to mount it wherever you'd like... Most importantly, it's real hefty/heavy duty, not like some of the flimsy ones you see on Ebay.

install was very easy, the back is bolted on to the factory tow hook and the front is bolted with 2 screws to the frame rail..

Not sure if it will work with a FMIC set up since it does stick out the front bumper.
