I plan on just getting some OEM ones from a stealership and painting them. A cheap towhook thats just for looks wont be able to tow your car from what I hear. and Im pretty sure you need towhooks to tow our car. I think the oem ones go for around 20$ each.

the front impact beam and rear sub frame is designed to do that.
but most tow truck guys never bothered, just gonna pull it up from the front a-arm, so the hook is useful only if your car is really really low and couldn't eve get on a flat bed in the usual way, that case, they either pull from the rear up to the flat bed, or just tow it from the front over a few pieces of wood so it gets enough clearance to get on a flat bed.

unless you plan on breaking down you don't need a tow hook. and if its fashion trend then you should keep it on a Honda. no need to drive round town with a tow hook on 8
