The STILL unanswered question:

WHY DO YOU NEED A 5TH TOW HOOK?

THEMkris · 12-02-2007, 07:31 PM

why would you want to do that if you can just sit on your ass and have people do things for you? =]

10 seconds on google. Thats about all your gonna get. And unless you have a dedicated race car, the only reason to have on of these is to be rice-a-rific.

these are for a honda. Im sure you could make them work. now stop bitching.

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.

SimpleSexy180 · 12-02-2007, 07:33 PM

last time my car got towed.. with aero.. shit was scratch and chipped, son of a bitch.

be cool like the GT cars sticking out the front bumper

*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 07:33 PM

i just wanted to see who made them for the 240

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 07:35 PM

Do you think a company manufacturers them for the GT cars, strictly for each chassis?

Stop skirting the issue...

^I am curious to find that out as well. spend your money on something that is useful and more functional.

Matej · 12-02-2007, 07:38 PM

I've been thinking about getting one of the ones that attach to the strut tower.
Are there any that are made to fit a 240 so they stick out the side of the hood? If not then nevermind because I'm not cutting a hole in anything.
Using the stock hooks is a pain on a lowered car, especially with aero and ic piping in the way. I had to be towed home by a friend once when my clutch went out, we used the front hook and I hope I don't have to do that again anytime soon, especially now that my ic piping runs right by the hooks.

SexPanda · 12-02-2007, 07:38 PM

i doubt anyone sells them, unless you want some nice holes in your hood. Get some made for 1/5 the cost of buying some, if they do infact make them, and get them powdercoated. Just slap on a japanese sounding name sticker, and say that you imported them from japan...

That actually doesnt sound like a bad idea...

*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 07:38 PM

stupid i dont need the hook I just wanted to know if anybody made it for a 240 so WHEN i thought about it i made a thread trying to look for it

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 07:39 PM

If you're worried about your front aero, take it off before towing. IC piping? Use cloth straps around the hooks to cut down on damage to your pipes.

koukimonster139 · 12-02-2007, 07:41 PM

ohoho

and the river runs red

so ..... why ya need 5 tow hooks really

you were way to vague in your OP. It was probably costum made, like so many other parts you see on race cars.

*S13Boosts* · 12-02-2007, 07:42 PM

damn still dont get it.. well close this thread thanks!

koukimonster139 · 12-02-2007, 07:42 PM

no non nonono

you said you wanted to buy one dammit

i even quoted you saying that a while back

WHY 5 ??????

**ThatGuy** · 12-02-2007, 07:43 PM

Did you just call me "stupid"?

You can't even form a complete thought in a post.

Now you can't even figure out whether or not you want to buy, or just find someone selling them for the Hell of it.

WHY DO YOU NEED A 5TH TOW HOOK?

SexPanda · 12-02-2007, 07:47 PM

i hope to god you didnt just call thatguy stupid... a mistake my friend.

You can make one real simple and make it look real nice if you really want one. Cut a hole in your bumper, weld or bolt on the custom made tow hook, and cover the hole with one of those plastic lid things you find on computer desks.
