Its a multi billion dollar industry based off a few individuals flashing some sponsor bling on the track...then having those parts sold to trillions of kids that go to and from work in their bling that basically never see the track because they're stuck at work paying for all the brown boxes that show up on their doorstep while watching super hot rice dancing around and posing in front of the mechandise. ....And I love it. If you use this stuff at the track...sweet,..if not -its no big deal. - it still Its pretty obvious - its just styling guys - not a huge thing.
OK bro I think we get it now. the whole point Most of the people here were talking about was just to keep it on the track. When I see Honda's rock the tow hooks I just laugh.

Don't have anything to say about my MAG BLUE TE37 +12, Brembo Gran Turismo GT BBK's, Tein Flex coilovers with EDFC, and a whole bunch more on my car.

Old dirty Z, if it's your stye to be the slow and the curious. Everyone has an opinion on looks and style. If we all had the same taste. All of our cars would look the same.

I'm just glad Crom shared his pics with the forum so we all can enjoy it.

Thanks Crom
I got cha! If you like it then . it was just IMO. I never said anything about the front bumper. but the tow hook, hood and wing. Hood serves a purpose of cooling the engine down with some air openings but, I just think it look like F&F. The wing I doubt really serves a purpose until probably 75+MPH and really doubt it creates enough down force to make any difference. Tow hook?? come on bro that's all I had to say. Every one is entitled to there own opinion and this was just mine.

my point is why put something on your car when you have one already that works perfectly fine. Wheels are one thing...but a tow hook *scratches head*

Its a visual mod plain and simple. Its also a huge liability

if you're referring to the op, then you are straight up retarded.

he's already explained why he doesn't use the stock tow hook.

He could of fabricated to lowered the original towhook so it could clear his bumper. He wouldn't have this thread of haters. I like it as long as it is used for track only not to drive around looking cool. maybe he has it on there so if his car does brake down he can tow it away quickly before anyone sees him down.

Did you read earlier in the thread? The OP clearly stated that his front bumper would not allow him to use the factory tow hook.

Nope, got me wrong. I'm into Hotchicks, don't do ugly also.


Gothchic, post a pic of your car so we all know what Ricey doesn't look like. Likewise to all you haters.

big risk to take so you can be JdM TyTe I think
have you looked under the back of your Z (assuming you have one)...you'll see a factory tow hook

if they want to steal your car, they are going to steal it

certainly no more "ricey", or dare I say useless, than the diffuser you're considering - but if you like it, then more power to ya

to each their own

I can see how this can be confused with rice. I'm sick of seeing Z's driving around with a tow hook that have never been to or ever wil lsee a track . Another sh*t fad.

I take mine off when I get off the track. But if it won't come off like this one and the car is actually tracked.... then I can understand. But prepare to be confused with posers!
