Default Tow Hook Question

Hey,
I have been looking at getting a tow hook for some track use and it sounds like the NISMO bumpers cause issues with a lot of them. I got with Z1 and they recommend this one.

I'm concerned since it says its for a 370Z not a 370Z NISMO. Anyone know if it is long enough to clear the bumper?

Think the Z1 is not long enough, since they did not mention the Nismo.

This should help you out.

Moweraxle sells the only tow hook that I know fits a Nismo. I have one, it's very nice but the price is crazy.

Nismo Tow Hook
Rusty,
Thanks for the link to your thread. I think I will pick up one of the PTuning ones that someone mentioned.

That's a front license plate tow hook bracket, NOT a tow hook. The OP wants a tow hook for the track.

Damn, sorry, but why not use the one from the trunk or the OEM replacement? That's what I use on track day, I know it's not pretty but I always favor functional over pretty for track days.

For anyone interested the PTuning tow hook came in and it fits really well on the NISMO. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to get one.

I looked pretty hard for options before I picked up mine. No one was selling them that cheap so I would be concerned if you found one under $100. Ebay might have used ones that would be though.
