Can anyone tell me what this is...? Options

[KAOS]

I was just skimming through YouTube one day and I came across this video for a drifting 240 and this protruding thingamabob caught my eye...

Then later that day I was out driving and saw an Integra with the same thing except sticking out the rear of the car, just below the rear bumper cover...

Who know's what this thing is...? I have my assumptions, but I'd like to be sure:

6gc is like the sheltered child of the car community...

Yes they're tow hooks. People mount them to their strut towers because it is a strong mounting point to be towed from.

Are the ones pictured for looks? Of course.
Is the function there? Definitely.

Now go back to your parents' basement 6gc and return to that sheltered life.

Unneeded Information (that is rather offensive)


I'm not going to argue. This post was uncalled for. You answered a thread with the direct facts and that is most definitely the end answer to this thread. Credit due- Given.


Talking sh!t when you answered a post at 1.45pm (while most people that can afford to do/ and know of & about such mods, are busy at the jobs they receive the money to afford said mods) While you were belittling a community that I, (and all but 1 member of it) is Proud to call their own, I was being distracted by work. If you must know, at 1.45 i was between a Concrete saw to remove slab to jackhammer up, to lay a post to weld a fence to that would be the backbone to an automated entry gate system. Not playing on the computer. Not trying to say i'm the most BAMF here, cause i'm not. But that's called an honest hard days work to achieve/receive the things you want.

Should i have been here i could have answered this question as well. Infact, There are atleast 30 people off the top of my head that could have, if they weren't busy being adults.

END POINT: Do not belittle 6gc.net. Do not attempt to lower it's moral. Because if it wasn't for the people here, Most of us wouldn't have as much as we do have. Nor the friends, Nor the connections. 6gc.net is a fantastic network of everything from new learners to hardcore tuners. We share our Parts, Knowledge, and Pride.

And for you to say that, is a slap in all of our faces. Including Coomer. The yellicelli started this all. Go look at your own profile.

If you feel this way, then please, GTFO

Its not even that man. I just feel like you came in this thread and answered a question that was already answered and tried making it look like you "know it all" and everyone else doesn't.

Timing man. some of us check in after work.

And just outta ciriousity, why'd anyone wanna show off a tow hook? WHY brag about having to be towed? I drive a car who's engine blew and it STILL got me home. AND THEN, made it to the swapp location. (went "full out no-runny" within 5 ft of the park/working area) Fcuking epic!

It's called a joke. If I were serious, would I still be around this site despite the fact that I do not own a Celica? No.

And I will respond further in your unnecessary PM.
