kenchan, I don't know what the limit would be. It is an aluminum eye, as I believe the other one is also. I would say to be safe the eye should be steel or titanium, right?

yah, it would suck if you actually pulled the car from the grass or pits and it just snapped apart...

and if it's discoloring in the sun no good as decoration either...

I hope this will not be used on the street! I have seen cars get stolen that way and it looks ricer... Nothing screams "I crash my car like a tow hook" Im srry I dont even have one installed for track days... *knock on wood desk* yeah its in the car but I feel its bad MOJO to have it installed... Call it the racer in me

Thats totally different... Mine is a racers mentality its like before I take a race bike on the track I scratch it first so that when I get on the track it wont drop me on my a**! its a superstition kind of thing. The hard hat analogy would be like me saying I am not going to wear my helmet while on the track... And I really doubt a little tow hook is going to save my car from wrecking and or keeping me from getting injured in the process... lmao!

hahahahaha, i see.

I think the hook will look right at home when the canards, front splitter, side skirts, rear wing, diffuser, wheel spacers and lowering springs get installed. And also I believe that a tow hook may be required per a previous post for track days.Ofcourse the SC will finish the whole look and feel of the car.
