*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 06:17 PM

SW20Racer · 12-02-2007, 06:28 PM

using purely the power of IMAGINATION, heres what I came up with:
1: make a template out of cardboard
2:kick yourself in the nuts for not thinking of this first
3:when you catch your breath, take the template to a SHEETMETAL SHOP
4: close thread

koukimonster139 · 12-02-2007, 06:30 PM

lol

or you could do that

BustedS13 · 12-02-2007, 06:58 PM

last i checked, there's one on each corner.

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 06:58 PM

S13's are equipped with 4 tow hooks, stock.

They were used to attach the chassis to the assembly line during manufacturing. They are strong enough to pull a s13 up a 15 foot hill out of a ditch. (Long story, no illegal activities on my part).

What more do you need?

SW20Racer · 12-02-2007, 07:06 PM

it would cost like $20 to have one made out of thick stainless steel. no shipping cost, no wait, your logic is borked.

koukimonster139 · 12-02-2007, 07:24 PM

Im gonna revert back to this...

tow hooks save lives when you cant fit your jack anywhere else.

*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 07:07 PM

just wanted a aftermarket tow hook! if nobody doesnt know where to get them i might just get the GT Style hook.

SexPanda · 12-02-2007, 07:07 PM

The two at the back can be unbolted. You can make a tmeplate to bolt those back up to the stock holes. the two up front (look under your bumper, you'll see them) are part of the chassis. But why do you want tow hooks? Just to look cool? I would spend my money on more useful things, but thats just my personal opinion, because like ThatGuy said, the stock tow hooks are fine, and I too know how strong they are.

cronux · 12-02-2007, 07:07 PM

dude, just use the factory hooks, not that hard. mine have pulled my car out of a few ditches.

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 07:08 PM

You still haven't answered the main question...

WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

its just a one letter mistake i think you can prob guess what the word is

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 07:19 PM

Is that what you said?

Holy crap, it looked NOTHING like that.

your location says "City by the Sea". I take it it's not the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean?

We have these little things in the English language called "Punctuation marks". They help ALOT.

dont have it anymore

*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 07:24 PM

well since all you guys going off topic all you had to say was dont know so i guess no one knows where to get them. thanks

SW20Racer · 12-02-2007, 07:29 PM

if you want to purchase one like an artard, go to egay and type in "tow hook". i did, and i got several pages of results in 0.10 seconds. go on...try it...IT'LL BE FUN!

projectRDM · 12-02-2007, 07:32 PM

Dude, let me ask you this since you're clearly confused.

I'm assuming you're talking about the big red round tow hook that kids like you like to bolt just anywhere and think it looks cool, right? (I can only assume, since even after having nearly a dozen people ask, you still have yet to answer anyone)
In that case, you're only wanting it for the 'look', since most of those bolted to cars, in magazines mind you where you must have got this brilliant idea, are nowhere that you'd want to pull on without tearing sheetmetal and removing body panels. in that case, you could make one of wood or even cardboard, then paint it red, since again you're only going for the cool factor.

Otherwise the OE hooks are more than sufficient for anything you'd need them for.

koukimonster139 · 12-02-2007, 07:20 PM

Oh. you tried to say this:

"I saw a picture of a 240 with a tow hook and it was JDM looking and I want it"

right?
