how do you tie down a yaris

[CTScott]

When I picked up Crashy with an open car trailer, I tied her down using a set of tie-downs that I picked up at a local auto parts store, using the two rear holes and the bottom of the A-arms on the front. I wanted to use two points on the front, which is why I went to the A-arms rather than using the two hook.

The straps that I bought were rated for 3000 lbs each and had rubber coated hooks. They are identical to this set from Northern Tool:

Would those straps with the double hooks fit?
I was leaning towars ones like these if they fit.

They probably would fit, but uncoated hooks may scrape the paint off.
