    The hood propping thing is dumb, it can actually raise underhood temps.
    Tow hooks can actually serve a purpose though

    Yeah if you are RACING...

    Stock cars have tow hooks for tow trucks, they just don't stick out from the car and look shiny.

    Well, I use to drive a tow truck. and when a car are lowerd so low, those tow hooks are what saved the front and rear bumpers from being damaged... It was much easier to hook right up to those insted of the factory locations... jmo...

    It’s just the good ol’ boy in me
    I got my friends I got the recipe
    For one hell of a life

    I got my girl got my family
    Got my booze and that’s all I need
    For a hell of a time

    HELLYEAH!

    And what's with all these losers putting money into cars and wasting their apparently useless time! I mean seriously, why would you want to make your car faster or look better. They are just to get you from A to B!

    yes, they CAN serve a purpose, as previously stated in this thread, for uber slammed cars where the stock toe hook is not accessible.

    HOWEVER, you know damn well it's there for one thing, looks. and if anyone actually had to use it, that nice shiny toe hook would get scratched, and the driver would be ill minded about it.
