Default Tow hooks?

Hey guys,

I've been looking around for a tow hook for the front. I have an 08' nismo so I know that the year change did change the size of the tow hook (diameter of bolt). Anyone know anybody selling the tow hooks besides the cheaper looking ones on eBay? Or are those pretty much it at the moment?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I was referring to any aftermarket brand, not the stock OE tow hook.

Why? Unfortunately I used the tow on my 03Z many times. Worked like a charm.

Actually just looked in my car, the tow hook is not there. Only have the jack, and the jack screw. Going to nissan this weekend to see if I can order one as that is technically a "safety hazard" not to have a tow hook with the car. Also the tow hook was never used, as the threads in the front tow hook mount are untouched (still black paint, no scarring).
Pretty weird my car came without it.

1. Learn how to type properly, I had to re-read your post 4 times.
2. I have yet to ever hear of a "ghay" tow-hook. Might you enlighten me on this new descriptive verbage?
3. Its a functional piece of equipment. I did not see an OEM tow hook in my rear truck spares package when I initially looked. Now I have come to find out that my car for an odd reason did not come with one. Now that I know that the car was to come with a OE tow-hook, I am going to my dealership this weekend to aquire one.

My question has been answered, thread is done.

If you need an OEM one cheaper then the dealership LMK. I can even PC it to give it a better look.
