I'm hooked

angelsz4 · 07-21-2012, 03:45 AM

Tow hook added. What you do think.

l4zy · 07-21-2012, 05:23 AM

cool i've got one for the front and one for the back! i leave them in the trunk when i hit the streets though.

seank · 07-21-2012, 09:55 AM

Very cool as long as you never need them.

Kgolf31 · 07-21-2012, 09:56 AM

OP - Do you track the car?

If not, I think it's a poser move and utterly stupid.

x10

Plus I rarely leave it on before/after an event, usually I'm just too lazy.

angelsz4 · 07-21-2012, 06:52 PM

Not negative, just have some common sense.

It's the same as putting a huge wing in your back of a dodge neon. Think of it that way.

Hard to be positive when someone throws a tow hook on just for looks. And it looks lame...

Silververtu · 07-21-2012, 08:26 PM

people put tow hooks in front and rear in Asia just to protect themselves from others making "mistakes" in parallel parking.

armyav8tor · 07-21-2012, 08:32 PM

Ah, what's the purpose of the hook on the track? Are you racing or just doing HPDE? Are there that many gravel traps or is the car that unreliable? Seems like a "poser move" either way.

angelsz4 · 07-21-2012, 08:33 PM

Just a joke guys calm down. Lol guess what it comes down 2 - I'm keeping it on. Lol. My 6 inch high wing comes in tomorrow

It's to tow you if you get into gravel, put yourself into a wall (or tires)...etc

Brake failure can happen (with OEM pads and fluid) or common driver error. It happens, of course you never want to do that...but you never know.

Mid-Ohio, the closest track to me, has 5 gravel traps. Turn 1, club course chicane, keyhole exit to china beach, china beach (I think that one explains itself) and the carousel.

I don't think you really want to know.

They also put a lot of other stuff on cars.

Finnegan · 07-21-2012, 11:59 PM

They're nice tow hooks, and look good as tow hooks go (darn good in fact). As a dress-up for a shoot or show & shine I like them. Can see them for the track as well.

All I know is that I'd just be concerned someone would walk off with them!

Barryb97 · 07-22-2012, 10:29 PM

Were did you get it? I tried to buy a new on ebay for track days and it did not fit.

In that case I most certainly will be giving you the point by on the freeway.

It's neither...

*knock on wood* but if you hit a wall, how else is emergency crew supposed to pull you out? And most if not all organizations require a tow hook for track days regardless.

RandysV10 · 07-23-2012, 10:11 AM

I have the same, from Rennline, and yes I mainly use the car for track. Need the tow hooks also for pulling into the trailer.

armyav8tor · 07-23-2012, 11:32 AM

That poser/utterly stupid post got me fired up a little, so I decided to play devil's advocate. Reminded me of how people reacted to one of my posts about front euro license plates. I get it, some people are just dicks. Especially on the forums, I'm guilty myself sometimes. Enjoy your hooks!
