I would imagine you'd need something like this to go under the bumper.

There is no rear tow hook for this car. As far as I and others have seen there is no structural point near by for a simple mount and some real work would need to be done to create one.

(There is a tow loop on the rear but its far in)
Track day tow points for 370Z

the race car nismo had a modified bumper beam where they drilled a new hole to bolt up the functional tow hook.

the strap down at the rear bottom of the car on driver side is not really meant for towing.

Yeah I wish I could get an RC model. But you are right those hoops are just for tie down points during transportation, not for towing.
