This it a period . This is a comma ,

The MS3 tow hooks are of a much smaller diameter. Won't work. Why do you need full time tow hooks? Do you really get stuck in gravel traps that often (I'm guessing never)?

He's just looking for appearance. Which is good, since those are tiedown hooks, not towing hooks. I know people will sometimes pull the car with them, but a serious pull (like retrieving from a ditch) will likely do damage.

Tap - since you're looking for appearance, and the Mazda 3 holes are smaller diameter, you might consider getting those and making adapters or just use some kind of packing to hold them in.
