Nothing. I'm tempted to put a gallon of thread locker on it. That's all I can think of.

Thanks!! It def gives the car a different look without going overboard. Kept it subtle enough with the black instead of red or blue. And the quality really is top knotch.

BoneZ 04-09-2016 05:37 PM

Leingod 04-09-2016 05:37 PM

I'm liking mine so far. Adds something different instead of your generic painted tow hook.

Should be able to tow the same as a hook. Just looks cooler imo. I guess over the long run, the strap would rub on the paint and eat away at it. Plus it's a strap and will probably fray or discolor slowly over time. I just have mine tucked into the grill. So no rubbing and still is noticeable.

eastwest2300 04-09-2016 06:27 PM

good points...

I'm not to worried about chaffing. You can tuck the strap behind the grill. Still noticeable and protects the paint haha.

I still use one at work and also at home for when i work on my drone. ESD can make chit go crazy. Especially a circuit card that is worth over $25K.

Turbo. Between renting out the house, going out to sea and possibly making rank. It could happen in time for me to come home to a monster by next summer.

Leingod 04-09-2016 07:43 PM

I really want to paint my headlights black, but am deathly afraid to do it myself...

Leingod 04-09-2016 07:56 PM

Has anyone tried Popcorn time? I guess they have a built in VPN for extra safety. may give it a shot. Netflix is getting a little stale for new content.
