No crap. It should come with a tow truck attached to the other end for that!

I bought one a while ago.. used ti for a little while and the bolt started to rust a little bit. Pulled it off and sold it.

No offense to anyone, but what's the deal with tow hooks? They seem to be the new JDM thing to do these days and I missed the memo, big time. Are they functional? Or is it just an aesthetic thing?

Depending on how they're made, probably less functional than factory one. They're aesthetic and I wouldn't be surprised if people want to add bike racks to their Z's. Also, maybe add all those collage of stickers on their aftermarket lips or hanging a stuffed animal/toy on the rear, shocker sticker, bunch of "I'm so JDM" stickers...

Haha. I never got into that stuff. I could understand a tow hook if you're tracking your car regularly, but not for the average person who just parks their car at Home Depot. At least the tow hooks have a trendy look and could be functional, but a bike rack? How did that ever become cool...

Would it be considered a JDM thing if someone screwed the OEM hook in and drove around?

I think you can call it is more of a style thing, sure, but calling it JDM is just stupid. It has nothing to do with Japan or the parts they sell in Japan.

Is a tow hook functional? Have you tried to pull or tow your car from any other area? How well did that work?
