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!

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

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.
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
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.
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!

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.

Just go up in reverse at a SO JDM Slant and you will be ok on the flatbeds

...if he's driving up the flatbed, why would they need towhooks in the first place?Just go up in reverse at a SO JDM Slant and you will be ok on the flatbeds

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.
Just because you can roll doesnt mean your motor doesnt have a whole in it...if he's driving up the flatbed, why would they need towhooks in the first place?

I would like to see pics of how you secured that to the oem hookthis is my too hook, well more like a strap.

Duct tape. STRATEGICALLY PLACED duct tape...I would like to see pics of how you secured that to the oem hook
...and maybe some zip ties and gorilla glue.
JDMadness ==>
well i guess this is a use for it:
from one of the most ballering efs ever, check out the spark plug wires and odometer
http://www.theteamikon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=474
Are they SS braided wires?
JDMadness ==>
if by SS you mean Spoon Sports, then yes!
Uh...of course that's what I meant. I noted that on the gauge cluster (not odometer...) but not the wires.

Zip Ties and Gorilla gle FTW
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.

THATS WHY I HAVE ONE!
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

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
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.

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!!
SiNgLe SlAmMeR
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
