What do you guys think about these?

Some people think tow hooks are useless until you need it, kinda like a fire extinguisher. Wait til you hydroplane or run off the road or race track one day.

I agree. You want an alluminum one.


Doesn't the Z have one with the trunk tools? I can't remember but I know my last car had one. I think the tow hook is mostly for looks. But functional when they pull the car up on a flat bed. They don't use the tow hook to strap the car down, just pull it.

If anything like that ever happens, you have a tow hook in your trunk

Yeah but then you don't look like a racecar, ready to crash and be towed back to the pits.
