Tow Hook

Got_Z · 12-01-2013, 01:11 AM

Hey guys, a bit of a noob question. I tried searching for quite some time so if there is a thread dedicated to my question, I apologize. I am looking to purchase a tow hook for my car (blue one) but don't want to spend $150 for the original one. Does anyone know any good quality eBay one for around $30-$50? Also I read that every car comes with a stock tow hook. Where is that located? I didn't see it on mine. (2011). Thanks!

the tow hook is in the trunk under the mat by the spare tire, and as for your first question no clue but if you find one lmk =] You could also plasti dip it if you wanted to if youre bored itll probably be the cheapest solution. like 10 bucks a can only would need one can to make it work.

Go ahead and buy whichever one looks best. Just swap the OEM one in if you need to tow the car. I wouldn't trust anything eBay for that.

An alternative is to simply have the factory tow hook powder coated. I've seen a few coated and they look good.

Just search the For Sale section for a factory hook. They come up every now and then.
