you think a bolt is going to hold 3000+lbs at a hinge?

 

Just wondering is that bolted to the crash bar or welded? How difficult was it to do. It looks good by the way. I've been debating something similar just incase I need to get towed.

 

omg...this site gets more rice every day. Thank god my car has a factory tow hook that actualy unscrews from its bracket so u cant see the damn thing.

 

Hey Carlos is the tow hook functional?

 

One similar to what you are talking about is already in the works...although it doesn't lock into place but it'll work. Only thing Im waiting on is rear one to be completed. No idea on when it'll be available for everyone but ill have mine sometime soon.

I don't plan on installing them till spring but once I do ill post up many pics...and most likely a how-to with some video as-well.

 

theres a 7xx awhp evo at my girlfriends old condo with it coming right out of the hood. i dont think it looks rice at all i think it looks damn sexy

 

but your car is from japan so its instant rice :P

 

exactly, i have a excuse to have it, cobalts dont..lol. And yet i still dont have it mounted.

hp has nothing to do with anything, i dont care if it had 1400whp with twin turbo and a supercharger with a 200 shot of nitrous....they still look gay as ****. The ONLY reason i can see a person having one is if they are racing at the track and get a tow back from the finish line to keep the engine cool, which will not be a evo. Usally those cars are 9sec cars or less.

 

its all personal preference. you dont happen to like it where as i do.

yet you dont own a cobalt anymore and still post here daily...hmmmmm

 

.....or if something happens on the road simply driving, or if everytime your getting pulled up on a flatbed the chains scratch the out of your paint because your so low, or if your on a road course and go off the track, blah blah blah

 

i post here cuz i still respect alot of people on the site and still respect the cobalt. But lately alot of people have been killing their balts with gay ass ****.

 

i still respect the J community and some people who are on there but i only post in the threads where im saying something positive or helpful, not just to speak my mind or go against what someone else is doing.

 

well thats the difference between you and me, i speak my mind. Always have, always will.

 

continue to by all means. just learn when its approperiate or not. you talk about respect in one response then speaking your mind because thats you in another. doesnt make sense

 

my ms3 had a stock tow hook, cap in the bumper i assume like your z. never used it though.

The tow hook im getting for the SS has a removable ring so when I DD I dont have to have the hook laying out on the bumper. meh personal pref but if its a track car you need them, but using them on the street...well I could see you calling it rice, but thats a personal pref as well.

 

no you missed the point... lol

its not about being there... my car got towed when my clutch failed, and the tow cable from the truck nearly ripped my front bumper off...

that hook isnt there for looks its actually there for the tow truck to come in and attach the cable to that hook... its bolted down to the crash bar.

its not there for looks, but luckily it turned out to be a good look on the black sedan.

its bolted to the crash beam... super simple to install.. it took me a while cause i didnt want to scratch my bumper or mess up my intercooler..

very much so... lol i tested it, tied it to my moms tahoe
and pulled my car... it works just fine.

 

Where did u get it and where did u mount it?

 

I wanna know this too.

I plan on going to Willow Springs this year and they require tow hooks

 

You better let us know how that goes. I've been planning on running with Redline at Nashville, but, they didn't get that venue this year so waiting to hear if they get another east coase event.

 

Not sure who your talking to but front and rear hooks are in the works... Front is done and rear is pretty close.

I'll post up more info hopefully soon..

 

Hey rally let me know... Pm me cuz I'm ready to buy

 

i mounted it myself... got it from a member here... he apparently bought it from ebay...

it bolts to the bumper bar, you have to drill two holes in the bar and then it bolts right in.

 

Idk if it would work cuz of my heat exchanger

 

Anyone with A heat exchanger have a tow hook?

 

lol eric youll have to see the tow hook, cause if the heat exchanger is behind the bumper bar you should be good...
