Powell Tow Hooks

Dunno if this is the right section but

Got my front and rear powell hooks thanks to John, droped them off at my work on his way to the states.

Just wanted to show everyone what they look like if anyone is interested

Front one is not on yet though









I got the front hook on today.




Was a bitch to do, had to remove the bumper and had to grid it down a bit because of the ZZP H/E

Nice job!

Yeah a few of us have these installed already. I put my front hook in the middle.

Was a real PITA drilling the holes in the crash bar...broke one titanium bit in the process

so is this for the mudding riding that you do on friday nights? Cause other than that they look like ricer as all get out....They def. go great with fart cans, NOS stickers, and fake fire extinguishers, but they don't go so well with superchargers and turbos.

Chill out booooooooosted. I was jw what the point was, like the other guy said if they serve the same purpse as an Apillar fire extinguisher. Didnt know if you did it just for looks.

Going by the horrid stuff some people on this forum do to their cars, It was a legit question.

Im not sure why you think im **** off or anything, if i was id make it quite clear, you have got the wrong impression there.

Also, if your making a joke on a website you have to make it clear, its not obvious reading text, point proven when you guys think im pissed off.

Anyway enough usless posts.
