It may be possible to cut a square out and weld in a threaded bung, you need to work with a very experienced welder. Unless you are a welder yourself. Aluminum is tricky and you have to make sure that welding it doesn't make it brittle. Hope that helps.

ahh...yah, i read there's no rear tow hook on the Z. i was thinking the strap-down hook would work (driver side rear), but later read that is not to be used for pulling.

i suppose if one crashes the car at a track, who cares....just pull and see wat happens. lol

It's true! :P hahaha
But my fear is smash the drivetrain :/

Rod Saraiva · 04-28-2012, 04:40 PM

it's a good idea, or I just cut, and leave a hole with the tow hook appearing... I need to see exactly where it out on the bumper

kenchan · 04-28-2012, 04:42 PM

rod- is this only for cosmetics? then yes, just make a bracket and mount it somewhere on the bumper.

Fire · 04-28-2012, 04:44 PM

Kenman I'm not sure if a bracket could be wrapped around the bumper. I don't think just a plate bolted on the bumper would be strong enough?? I'm talking about the alum bumper under the bumper cover.
