here you go~
I think they come with different colors, so far I know they have blue, red and black,they may have more colors, price was reasonable i think, $35 shipped, but you need a small work on the hook tho, coz the hole on our 8 is pretty deep, so you will need a piece of screw or sth to adjust the hook (it's adjustable):D:

:sweatdrop nope...i haven't test it yet and i hope I'll never use it ...... :D;)

mscamp02 06-04-2010 07:03 PM

^just a good insurance policy so you dont destroy your bumper

mike[piston eater] 06-04-2010 07:16 PM

this is sick, man if i was keeping my 8 i would jump on this they look down

Lunacy 06-04-2010 08:03 PM

So what the practicality behind a front tow hook?

mscamp02 06-04-2010 08:06 PM

^no damage to the bumper from hooking to the underside

Grog 06-04-2010 08:07 PM

I have also never understood the purpose of tow hooks. They look pretty cool, though.

Who tows their 8s? Is it for like... just in case you get towed for illegal parking or something? I don't get it.

mscamp02 06-04-2010 08:10 PM

Just in case. OP said he hopes to never use it. And if you are lowered or have a ground effects kit towing from the rear could cause the front to drag if the rear end is lifted up

mike[piston eater] 06-04-2010 08:12 PM

op is also a track junkie so he heeds it

Easy_E1 06-04-2010 08:14 PM

If you ever track your car, as in NASA HPDE. You will be required to have one. It makes it a lot easier to retrieve a car from the track should you go off the course.

BlackRX82006 06-04-2010 08:23 PM

BTW, it will eventually fade to pink.

c0ldf1ame 06-04-2010 08:31 PM

they make it easier for track workers to pull your car out of a ditch, or wall, (knock on wood)

Lunacy 06-04-2010 08:34 PM

Ok thanks. So i suppose this would be considered rice if i dont track my car.

Take my car for example back in April. I decided it would be fun to spin it out into a tire wall...I don't regret any of it

Everything is fixed and painted. I just went to a non-spoiler trunk. But anyway, back to the tow hook turning pink
