Tow bar, reinforcement bar same thing, your tow hook threads into it if car happens to fail

Even the stock front bumper scoops up air to your intercooler, that's the reason for the intercooler, to allow outiside air to pass thru it to cool charge air, that's why hot intake air causes things like detonation and loss of power. You pack a supercharger or even turbo under our already saunas for engine bays and you are upping the temp big time of the incoming air to our plastic intake manifolds, don't get me started on those lol.
