Just finished a rear tow hook for a customers RX-8 and it turned out pretty nicely. This thread is to gauge interest in producing more. I need at least 10 people signed up and a $20 deposit paid to start production.
So final cost will be $40 each + shipping

Those of us who are not members to the Rotary Car Club forum cannot see pics....

 

^what he said,I don't want to join another forum I spend to much time on this one as it is

 

aren't tow hooks sort of rice? I see them on civics all over the place and think they look rediculous.

 

^ uhyup

 

Does the deluxe package include a "shocker" sticker too?

Sorry, driving around with a tow hook in is best left to primered civics. JDM, yo!

 

^ This. I would like to see the stress analysis of the tow hook in CAD first. I am sure it is available.

 

Knowing the size of the ring would be useful too. Real tow hooks are rather big.

 

I am very sorry about the pictures, I didn't know they wouldnt show up. I would appreciate it if you guys please keep this thread about buy this and not bashing anything. Everyone has their own taste in car modifications

 

Pictures are updated

 

What's the hook screwed into in the bottom pic - the one where it's at the top corner of the grill?

i highly suggest that you release a release of liability with this. Considering tow hooks are generally classified as a safety device vs a cosmetic modification, the last thing you want is for someone to buy it .. have the product fail during standard use ... and get a phone call from the guys in suits.

 

Are they really a safety device? I thought they were a convenience so track crews had something they could easily hook up to.

Which makes the idea of tow hooks on primered Civics, as RadRedR3 suggests, kind of silly. If one of those winds up in the ditch, a fork lift or excavator will do.

It screws into the stock tow hook location in the grill.

 

I am not the one making this product, I am just trying to help grow the group buy on RCC, I have been the ginny pig for this tow hook since day 1

 

I meant safety in that aspect

That's a tiedown point, not a tow point.

a friend of mine is looking for a pair of hooks in blue or purple iirc. she wants to use them as tie down points on her mazda 3 for her kayak. do they come in other colors?

 

For a fee they can be any color
