I would be incredibly weary of any tow hook that you can buy in the 15-20$ range. I bought one from a real site called ptuning a while back and I never considered it being strong until my Z was being towed up the back of a flatbed truck and I thought "hmmm hopefully that tow hook holds". Fortunately it did and my car didnt go falling down a flat bed and down the hill into a wall. But its definitely worth the money or waiting until you can get the money. I know top secret makes a bunch of multicolor chrome stuff that kinda ends up looking silver/purple-ish but its expensive and I've not seen a tow hook from them.

Best of luck to you
I'm not really looking for a tow hook that'll pull me out of anything. I mean, I wouldn't trust a small little piece of aluminum/steel to be able to pull a 3000 lb vehicle without seeing some proof of it first, you know? But hey, just looking to do something kind of different in my area

Also, I did think about plastidipping my OEM hook black! But the thing is: I just am not a huge fan of the way it looks when it's attached. I suppose that's for a good reason; I mean, you're not really supposed to have a tow hook out and about like that... but you know what I mean! I like that semi-track look, is what I'm getting at I do not have a way with words lmao
