I need functional and strong tow hooks that also look good enough to always leave on the RX-8.
Just wondering where I can find them.
Amazon and eBay just sell the cheap "JDM" versions that I know will break once any tension is applied to them.
Thanks.

 

Paint the factory ones red. Done.

Pretty much any tow hooks with the right thread pitch will work.

 

Aren’t they kinda fugly? I haven’t installed them yet, but I’m guessing the rear tow hook sticks out quite a bit from the bumper.

 

The stock ones work quite well... they are small and strong and work well.

I'm using the stocks painted red. It's hard to find really nice tow hooks

 

I'm not sure if any tow hooks look good enough to leave on all the time. The stock ones are pretty strong and I got a lot of use out of them when transporting my shell during the swap process (moved it to 3 or 4 different places) with nothing bad happening.

 

I can tell you that some cool looking aftermarket tow hooks end up breaking and/or falling off and ruining track sessions for dozens of people pretty frequently on track days. Tow hooks and aftermarket pulleys are the primary useless parts that screw things up for people out there. If you must use something other than factory hooks, spend the money and buy the best and use blue Loctite on all the threaded bits. Don't be "that guy." "That guy" royally sucks. Royally sucks. I'm glad you asked about quality parts. I hope you are willing to pay for them. Otherwise, use the factory tow hooks. They ARE quality.

you can get quality hooks from a place like pegasus racing but mounting them may be an issue.
