Default Front tow hook?

I have been searching around the forum and google, but I couldn't find any front tow hook for my Z. I have a Chargespeed long nose front bumper, the factory oem tow hook is too short and too tight to screw it on. Does anyone know where I can get a longer tow hook or 90 degree angle tow hook for track use? Thanks!

There are several tow hooks for the 350Z (including the folding “O”), but are similar to the OEM hook. If you want a long hook you may have to fabricate one.

Thanks!! As long as I can put a bolt instead of screw in the tow hook, I will be fine. Where should I get it from? any pointer?

A welder can cut the stock one and weld an extension.
I use the stock length one since my car has the stock bumper.

Thanks guys! I was planning to just cut and weld it, just want to see if I have any other alternative. I found a moonface racing tow hook, but it costs about $180 a piece!!! so I guess I will just make one instead.
