Just as the title states. has anyone bought the Powell racing Tow hooks and mounted them on a non SS bumpered car? Just curious of any tricks or tips, because I havent seen it done yet.

I bought and installed them, just been real lazy with pics and such. The front on my car doesnt really count though cause I installed an SS bumper cover a few years ago. The rear was exactly like the SS's just without having to cut a hole through the lower trim. I did have to clearnce the dress panel and cut two slits in the bumper to fit around the tow hook.

Where did you mount them? If you get some pics, id love to see. i want to get these bought and on before my first track day, heh.

Foximus, if your crash beam is close to the grill on your bumper, you should be ok. From what i remember, yours is just as close as the SS's, just will a plastic grill in it. Take some pictures, i might be able to point you in the right direction.

I've got them on my phone, I'll try and post them later tonight after work.

Im pretty sure in the front, I may just need two blocks to step down from the crash bar, and then go out the lower grill. Its the back I'm not sure about. I'll try to get some photos of that tomorrow.

i didnt ahve a choice haha.

BPacak

what were you thinking haha

whyyoumadson?

didnt have a choice and besides its a better place for it then the crash beam.

BPacak

i could see your bumper ripping right off, and the fact that it just looks bad haha. get a daytime pic

whyyoumadson?

when the tow hooks attached to the frame? i highly doubt it. dont care its function over form in my case. i road coarse thise car. id rather have it there attached the frame and visable.

BPacak

gotcha haha, thought you just had it screwed to your bumper lol

Do you have a rear one on? and Id like some better pics.. Heh.

whyyoumadson?

no it has a little slit there that allows it through the bumper. i have quick diconnect pins for when im not at the track.

i have it but no pics of it on the computer and i wont be around the car for a week or so as im too busy with work. i have it attached the bumper beam on the right side and a little slit cut through the grill(i have an ss bumper though out back)

You guys, whyyoumadson doesn't have the standard crash beam anymore lol.

MAtt gtfo with that shizz.

You have a different crash beam?

And ah. Yeah, I have the LT bumper with the RK Sport rear lip. Wondering if i can lower the hook down and come out the mesh in the RK lip....

whyyoumadson?

its an option lol. just saying. im NOT saying it has to be done this way but it is however the strongest place for it.

use your license plate light hole for track days/...and yes i do. no room for the oem one.

ls1fbody

His intercooler takes up more space than the spruce goose lol. There's a tube frame bar in there.

whyyoumadson?

jooo liek?

Foximus

Dah. I liek. Thats **** man. haha.

Hmm. off the license plate light? Hmm. kinda wanna find someplace more perminate. that doesnt seem to strong, where those 2 screws are.

whyyoumadson?

you should be able to access the crash beam from there and make it work. of coarse take the hook off for driving around. i mean maybe it will work with your rk sport piece i couldnt tell you if it would or not.
