ef tow hooks

[JDM SLiViC]

Someone post some pics up of some ballin ef's with front tow hooks. Googled the shit and barley found anything!

Any opinion on ef's with front/rear tow hooks????

[southside]

pointless to me,just for looks most people dont use them.

[JDM SLiViC]

It would serve a purpose if your civic is slammed and it just happened to break down and you gotta get it towed. Whats the roll back wrecker gonna hook it too?? your stock tow hitches and rip the bottom of your bumper or your lip!
It would serve a purpose for me cause i cant even get a honda scissor jack under my hatch!

[southside]

Well if im getting towed its nothing but a flat bed for me :goodjob:

I agree on being to low and in need of a tow and wishing the front bumper/lip would stay safe.Tow hooks are cool but only if you actually have a "USE" for them.
:goodjob:

Honda-Tech has alot of photos,here is just one(not mine).

You got oem tow hooks, why you need more? Plus, you gotta cut into the bumper to install one.

Exactly why I don't have one on the front and the rear works fine

[sakasaku]

If i had a car just for show i might get one....

This is what gives tow hooks a bad name, imo. Tow hooks are supposed to be for track cars.

[southside]

LOL whats the point of having a tow hook if you dont use it????????Sakasuku

My stock tow hooks look like an L. My driveway has ate them up and bent them! Planning on getting a lip and i would like to have a front tow hook just incase. I wouldnt mind cutting a little slice in my bumper to mount one but i damn sure wouldnt do that to an ef9 bumper!:D

[EvasiveEF9]

If you worry about your front bumper...pull it on the flatbed from the rear...LoL

I had one on the rear. Never REALLY needed it. Thought I'd need it more than I actually did. Good for show, though.

...if he's driving up the flatbed, why would they need towhooks in the first place? :tongue1:

[00CelicaGT]

this is my too hook, well more like a strap.

it's a 3,500lbs test strap w/ a 5,000lbs test C clamp securing it to the factory tow hook. i cut a little square in my home depot lip and bam i got a tow hook/strap.

from one of the most ballering efs ever, check out the spark plug wires and odometer :crazy:

Are they SS braided wires?

[uproot]

if by SS you mean Spoon Sports, then yes! :goodjob:

Uh...of course that's what I meant. I noted that on the gauge cluster (not odometer...) but not the wires. :D

[JDM SLiViC]

Has anyone thought of the fact that the tow truck might not be able to get to the rear of the car to winch it??? So the front tow hook comes into play then! Just saying.

[00CelicaGT]

THATS WHY I HAVE ONE!

[southside]

how wouldnt they be able to get to it.My friends ef sat so low his cat rubbed the ground....We could still reach his tow hook

[green91]

Ha good luck, your tow hook will work great until you actually go to put it on a flatbed and still tear off your front bumper and hang on your front crossmember

[EvasiveEF9]

Ever done a mountain run and seen a car go over the edge? I have. Kid's a good driver, just mis-calculated a curve. He was well experienced with that run, too. Don't say you're too good to mess up...

Point is, he went down nose-first. Had to be pulled from the rear. Couldn't pull the front. I could very easily see a car spinning and going down tail first. However, I don't see the bumper cover being your biggest concern, at that point.

[JDM SLiViC]

Lol you keep posted stupid stuff. Were looking at the [what if] factors!!! Just say the light ef hit some standing water and did a 180 into a ditch. Then how would you get to the rear tow hook! you couldnt so u would have to pulled out by the front tow hooks!!:doh:

[southside]

Factory still works just fine point blank period!And how is that stupid when you said your car was so slammed....If his car was that low im sure your car will be fine to use oem hooks also But if you wanna get them then go ahead it will be easier for you and will look so JDM:lmfao: :chuckles:

[slow_hatch]

Ok, I can see what your saying about access to the stock tow hook location with a lip etc, my car for example
http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff114/mugen_racer91/Parking%20deck/4.jpg
But even if you get an aftermarket front tow hook, when they pull it onto the truck, you will still kiss your lip good bye :yes: I've had my car towed before I put my front lip on and it still dragged the bumper(no lip), and front cross member. I now carry a Philips head and a 10mm socket to take the bumper off in case of a towing situation. ;) Some track org. required an external front tow hook, in case of an engine failure, etc, in which the just hook a strap to you and literally tow you back to the pits.

[JDM SLiViC]

:lmfao: you dont have a ef9 or a jdm bumper jacka.ss,So why are you worried about it...And ill keep riding my beat up black hatch :thinking: Uhh taillights no That proble on your list next with that tow hook huh:lmfao:

You dont know what i have or how low my car is. It has 13's on it and its been lowered more since that picture so who is the jackass now:thinking: :blah: :blah: :blah:
Damn take all of your retarded post somewhere else!

Since im so JDM YO! I PROBABLY HAVE A SET OF EF9 TAILS SITTING IN MY GARAGE!!!
btw i created this thread to see what everyones opinion is about them! I never said i was getting some or i had any.....

Yea my car sits a little bit lower than your white hatch but your lip is bigger than mine so they are probably about even.
Thanks dude thats all i needed to know. I always carry my tool box in my hatch.
Love your hatch though. That was one of the very few which did catch my eye at the V. Saw another thread of yours where its torn apart now????

[green91]

Dude are you retarded? And BTW, yours isn't lower than slow_hatch's. Plus, i would imagine you dont have the correct suspension setup to even allow for such a low ride height to even be a performance improvement. Lower isn't always better unless you've got the correct spring rates and shortened shocks or extended tophats, not to mention any camber correction. But since lower is better maybe i'll just go take my sleeves & perches off completely :thinking:

I never said anything about the lower the better! Dont try to put words in my mouth!! I was looking at some ls meshies so i could raise it back up and get some decent coil overs.

Good guy. He's an ass if you're a jackass, but he's willing to help those that are legit. And show some sign of intelligence. It's funny, probably about a year ago, he decided he wasn't gonna be mean, anymore, but most of IA appealed the idea. So many people have come through doing the "later, _____" though like he did, and to date, I don't think anyone's continued it.

Edit:

Shit...now I'm gonna get called a nutswinger, again...

Naw I cant do it but every post I've seen from him he puts "later,QD" ,That just felt like a QD moment to me LOL

screw worrying about breaking your lip or bumper or whatever, this is the way to go:

[EvasiveEF9]

Is that a monkey in the driver's seat, or a sleeping midget?

[bigdare23]

EPIC LOLOLOLOL

[rbf]

I now carry a Philips head and a 10mm socket to take the bumper off in case of a towing situation.

That honestly sounds better than running a tow hook!.:goodjob:
If your car needs to be towed and it is "slammed" just easily remove the bumper cover and then you will have access to the factory tow hooks.
I like the idea of taking the few minutes to uninstall the bumper cover rather then having to watch my lip be ripped off my front bumper.
