Tow Hook Club

[Benggolf2]

Hello! Those who have a tow hook on their front bumper, please post pictures here. :laughabove:

[firemachine69]

It's technically attached to the uni-frame...

Rear tow hook, yes but front tow hook, no. The front tow hook is detached and you have to pop off that little circular cover thats on your front bumper, screw in the tow hook to be able to tow your car.

You can buy nice ones like this http://shop.microimageonline.com/product.sc?categoryId=5&productId=10

[firemachine69]

...and attached to the uniframe. Your "bumper" is made out of plastic and foam, hardly a sturdy surface to attach a single point of weight interference, wouldn't you say? :wink:

[FunctionSpec]

I'm sure you and everyone else understood what he was talking about. Lets not get too technical here. It's just a tow hook and he requested pictures, not a lame response.

Yes, of course.....mounting point is behind the circular cover on the RH side of the front bumper. :smile:

Yes, thank you FunctionSpec. Maybe they think I am just a 10 year old punk hanging around. :biggrin:

[Benggolf2]

OK guys, here is a photo of our car with the tow hook installed.
I cut the thread by 1/2" to reduce protrusion of the tow hook beyond the front bumper. :wink:

Tow Hooks FTMFW!

I don't mean to thread fart, but I don't understand why having a tow hook is desireable. If you ever rear end someone, you're just going to cause that much more damage to their car since it won't be a flexible bumper cover and foam hitting them, it'll be this firmly attached piece of metal.

I guess it does look kind of neat, though.

You answered your own question. :laugh:

[blacksandiegovitz]

Heres mine , the one garm sells in gunmetal . I got in on the group buy for the NST tow hook in gold which looks way cleaner Imo .

[NonStopTuning]

Soon you will be able to compare and comment on both styles!

:burnrubber:

[msfire671]

I got the gunmetal then painted it gold. Check back a page or two.

[eTiMaGo]

funny story.... there's a white yaris on nice white wheels I often cross paths with on our road... and as of a few days ago he now has a red tow hook :laugh:

[revoturbo]

Mine..

yaris with TRD tow hook.. all steel metal (not aluminum)
heavy duty

[Treyz]

Must be an Asian thing because we don't have that with our TRD lineup .. or do we as a universal piece?

[cali yaris]

that TRD one is pretty cool. :clap:

[ddongbap]

...and attached to the uniframe. Your "bumper" is made out of plastic and foam, hardly a sturdy surface to attach a single point of weight interference, wouldn't you say? :wink:

I totally disagree. That plastic is harder than steel.
