Touche...doesn't mean it won't EVER happen to anyone

True lots of people get towed... That's why i said "I" dont plan on getting towed... and IF you do get towed it is by a truck that will go under the car... Those front end Rice tow hooks are for race cars that get towed in the pits... and since 99.9% of the xB owners on here are DD it makes little sense to have it... UNLESS you are doing it for looks/JDM styling and if so best of luck with your ricer....

Easy big guy, just having a little fun.

BTW, I have seen the hook used to pull (drag ) a car that was parallel parked between two other cars out to where the truck could get to it for a normal tow hook-up.

I know, I know...

Bought the foam and other materials necessary for assembling a rough prototype from which to make a mold, will have pictures up as soon as I'm done getting it all smoothed out.

def love to see the out come once done.

I'm still developing the prototype. I got some sort of flu type virus, so I've been too sick to work on this for about the last two weeks.

Figured I could at least get a picture up. It looks pretty rough, but basically this is the back of the grille, I'm working on getting it all smoothed out so that the grille sits perfectly against the front bumper. Once, I get passed this part, I'm going to shape the curve in the front, and then move onto the vents. Once I'm done shaping the foam, it's getting hit with body filler and sanded down smooth.

looking good!

Floral foam, I assume?

Ugh. I hate that stuff. Get it on your hands, try to get it off, doesn't come off. Get it on your face, can't get it off, gets in your mouth.

Blech.

Why are you putting floral foam on your face?

xseveredveganx

I love flowers THAT much. :D

J/k. I was building a one off fiberglass for a Civic. Floral foam as the base, then use fiberglass to lay over it, body work, paint, done.

A good friend of mine is a florist, and even she doesn't like flowers that much.

Good thing you didn't get fiberglass on your face... I hope.
