Default Possible to pull off an aftermarket tow hook...

or is it rice no matter what? Like everything else that can be pulled off for cheap, the Honda $hit box crowd is all over this. Just wondering if they ruined the look even for well put together cars.

many threads on this....

Front is easy:
use the oem threaded oem toe hook location - buy a toe hook you like or use oem.

Rear:
-Oem rear is off centered and located on drivers side..iirc..
-I like the idea of fab/mounting one centered off the rear aluminum impact beam/slotted hole in rear bumper.
-also, sourcing across the pond AL impact beam and rear bumper - would have the threaded hole and plug in the bumper.

If you track your car, put it on. If not, install when the tow truck needs you to install it

You can get a decent quality one for less than $50 that looks better than the OEM hook. I got this one for $45 shipped. I have had my car towed several times and this works well. There's a few pictures of it installed in my profile album.
