    Ok, I can see what your saying about access to the stock tow hook location with a lip etc, my car for example

    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 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.

    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????

    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

    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...

    That honestly sounds better than running a tow hook!.
    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.

    It doesn't even matter because this guy's tow hook decimates all.

    ^^^ Although, I'd recommend ARP rod bolts because the factory ones aren't that strong.
