    Anyone running a Tow Hook?

    Hey guys -
    Need to grab front/rear tow hooks for an HPDE. Anyone running something they got from ebay or amazon? I'd love to not drop $60 per tow hook like the ones on the ECS site since I'm only going to use them at the track and I'd rather spend that money on beer :) Alternatively if you know the size that would be awesome!

    The car comes with a tow hook.. Just grab it from the trunk and install for the HPDE.

    Yup, that's your best bet if you're only using it for HPDE. If you're like me looking for one for both aesthetics and usability, you might want to bite the bullet and spend the $60. Not sure I would trust the EBay special hooks, but maybe they work fine. Someone will chime in.

    Just use the one the car comes with. I bought a swing hook (screws in like normal but has a pivot on it), and I kind of regret it. Not that I use it, at all, but I really don't ever want to use it, since when it swings down it can make contact with the paint. What a stupid design, to not have a limit on the pivot angle.
