Since some of our cars are lowered, what options do we have that fit perfectly for a front mount tow hook? Using the OEM tow hook is just too low and will ruin the bumper of course. Any ideas?

airbags was even better cuz I could jack that thing up higher than stock.. LOL -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

only ever use the rear to tow.
ALWAYS request a flat bed, and give the dude instructions on how to do his job. This post has been edited by playr158: Jan 10, 2008 - 11:02 AM |

LOL Sounds like me. I think they get aggrevated sometimes but I don't give a $hit - it's my car and I'm paying them [or the insurance is w/e] -------------------- ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

I don't get this. Does it harm if you are using the front to tow? -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

if you are too low like some of us, or if you have a body kit, the front tow hooks are not accessible or the tow cable will hit your bumper leading to potential damages. the rear is normally exposed/high enough to be used without damaging anything

even if you tow from the rear or put it on the flat bed, the front bumper might scrape the bottom or worse bend the front bumper.
