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)

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.

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

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.

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

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
