Talking tow hook

anyone know of a tow hook that clears the v.3 front bumber cover without trimming? i ordered a moonface racing red tow hook and it is made for the regular 350z bumber or an aftermarket cover i would guess. i think mcr may have a nismo specific peice but not sure

So, do you think it's cool to permanently have a tow hook on the front of your car for no reason what so ever?

Not while driving it on the street. I screw my hook in when I change to race pads, unscrew it after the final session of the day.

So many haters and so little people to hate on. Don't worry, matt, I'm sure you will find something. I have my factory one painted gold and mounted. Looks pretty cool that way.
