nice ! A+

 

Maybe you should take a picture where you found the tow hook so everyone knows where it is. ha ha.

I don't like the way the stock tow hook looks in general, so i just wasted money and bought Nukabe tow hooks for f/r.

 

this is one that most Z's install (not OEM of course) :

looks very nice


if your talking about the OEM one, then every Z comes with one, i found mine with the tools case in the trunk.

 

I've dealt w/ these guys before getting some paint for CS (KY0) Works great!

Good Idea! bout to run off and do mine!

what is the point of this do you have your tow hook in at all times? I used mine once and put it right back in the back? If you do need to use it is it not going to get all scratched and beat?

 

Is this mod supposed to make your car 'look' more like a race car or something? I'm not sure the point of this mod...

 

i suppose this is on all the time, and when they need to use it, it will obviously get scratched up and beat. However until that time(hopefully won't happen) they will have it on and it will look a bit more agressive(?) It looks good in some cars though, but just stock OEM cars, i dont think so much

Great job on the paint, but it probably belongs back in the trunk.

 

OP why not just post picture of your car with toe hook???? give us some good idea how it looks like.. i 've seen some but can't picture it again..

I've used my toe hook twice in the last 5 months... don't think I'll ever be painting it in the near future. But I must say, yours turned out pretty nice.

 

I have two tow hooks for sale....if anyone needs one......

figured it wasn't worth it's own thread but is towhook related



i just painted mine 'spare rattle can red' for visibilty when on the track, don't leave it in other than that BUT...

it took ~ 2 removals of the plastic towhook cover before it broke and fell off littering our nations highways somewhere...

was not gonna buy another ( to break and litter some more)

hated the shiny color of the towhook hole in the grill so i 'spare rattle can' blacked it out

time ~ 2minutes (1 spent shaking the can)
cost ~ free

[yes, it was buggy coming home last nite - will wash today...]

 

HHmm.. Interesting.. Tow Hook huh? So, has anyone actually used this to tow their Z? Would not the paint just come off if it was hooked up to tow?

 

Woulda been nice if I knew this was in my trunk when i needed to tow my car... rather, I found it the day after I towed it, lol.

 

i use the tow hook point to winch the Z onto a car trailer i own......thats about it..

still for sale!!!

If anyone wants to paint one and are not sure about it...........if you dont like it...at least you still have your original?

-j

 

i didn't even know that i got a tow hook on my Z..thanks and good job!

 

i dont think i can't spend money on paint.

 

im painting a crowbar in red candy and drive around with it !ha!!!!what are you doing with the damn hook on your car?
