everything thy make is for a honda, why would you want another tow hook mounted somewhere else on the front when our cars already come with a pem one, and there are other companys making a direct replacment one

I still laugh at having the tow hook in all the time.. sorta like saying you expect to need a tow... in many places that would be bait for a lot of jokes Kinda like the guy I saw the other day with Honda written backwards on the front window of his accord so you could read it in your rearview.. I guess so the guy beating him would know what he beat :D

Honestly though, do what you want if that is what you are into.

Don't forget the red arrow that points to it if you do get it.

My 10hp Troy Bilt chipper has a tow hook. Because it's a chipper. "Ability to be towed by hooks" was not on my list of desirable car features.

well it obviously should have been becuase you have a tc with a circular plate on the bumper which covers a hole that screams " PUT A TOW HOOK IN ME!"

Exactly. A COVER. No where does it say "Screw this thing into the bumper and drive around with it sticking out." Every time I see one on a perfectly functional tC, I want to grab a length of cable and padlock it to a lamppost.

always having a tow hook on is comprable to driving around with a little red gas can duct tape to your roof.

there's a white tC on these forums with that red tow hook.

some of my friends have Benen tow hooks on their cars (hondas and wrx's). i think theyre more of a fashion statement like plaid headliners. some honda guys put starbucks cups in theirs LOL

I could understand it if there was no cover and just a hole. You'd want to put something there. But that's why there is a cover. Even if for some crazy reason they came with no cover there so you could easily put the hook on, I'd still hope someone made a cover to fit there.
