No rust on mine yet.

Ebay cheap hooks will rust, its just a matter of time when they are exposed to the elements.

They look good, but don't use it for a tow. If it is aluminum, they break. Ask any shop that tows. They are dangerous...

I don't think it's pour aluminum, there must be other kind of metal in it too. my lug nuts are aluminum.

Looks good!

That a couple rows of LEDs I see there near the fangs?

The LED strips are annoying to see now. Everybody's trying to be an Audi.

I got my red aluminum tow hook from GTMotorsports and it is not technically a legal tow hook b/c it is aluminum, and therefore will not rust after several months. Somedays i remove mine...these are just more cosmetic than anything to tie in colors and fairly cheap and easy add on if you follow righty tight lefty loosy.
