Default Lotarev Automotive TOW HOOK

hi,

thought i would share pics of this tow hook..

search Lotarev Automotive and 350z tow hooks on ebay and you will find it.

I like it only because i can leave it installed behind the liscence plate and i wont loose it anymore......ive already lost/misplaced 2 oem tow hooks...lol....

Their site says is 16mm so i dont know if they make one for the New Z's with the larger diameter tow hook mount. my car is an 04.5 Touring.

I would have purchased black if i had know it was gonna hang down below the licence plate like that but oh well....i wasn't trying to drive around with it showing... just glad it fits behind the plate...hopefully now ill never loose it...

I need the tow hook for when i trailer my car to events. - I just recently installed a ratchet strap winch in the front of my new trailer.
- Jason

That is the Autotecknic tow hook and yes it comes in the larger size because I have it for my 06. I have had this tow hook on my car for a month now with no problems.

Does anyone know if the Lotarev tow hooks are available anywhere else besides ebay? I googled it and found nothing but links to ebay. I also emailed every ebay store that carries them and asked if they had the gold one in stock, and none of them do .

It looks exactly the same as the ebay one, is there any difference? If there's no difference, than the ebay one is only $50 compared to this Autotecknic one which is 80. Ehh, screw it, I'll buy it anyways haha. Thanks Serf!!

That is a good looking tow hook. I hate the opening in my V2 being empty and have thought about getting one of these. I never track the car though, so I don't have a real need for it. Decisions decisions.

Ya I know, I'm not a big fan of that empty hole on the V2 bumper either. That's why I was thinking about picking up one of these tow hooks And I want it in gold to match my wheels

I like the Top Secret style better (minus the price tag of course).
