GTM Tow Hook on Nismo
 
Anyone else have a GTM Tow Hook on their Nismo?
I will post a picture later.. but it seems like its mounted deeper then I thought it would be. The hook is almost all the way hidden when mounted.

The Nismo front bumper is deeper to the tow hook mount that a standard 370Z. So it looks like it's inside the bumper. Don't think any makes one for the Nismo.

I haven't found anyone making a longer tow hook for the Nismo. I'm using the stock one for the track but do worry that if the car needed towing, the bumper would get damaged.

I took it to home depot, although they do not carry what I need, due to it being metric. I now know what I need to extend it and will just order it online. Now I need to find someone who will powder coat it the color I want.. And get the same matching Calipers colored.

I just installed the Nismo Carbon Fiber shift knob, that thing looks sick! Cant wait to drive it later. The console was easy to take off, the original knob was a pain!! But it came off.

I haven't been able to find anything yet. If anyone finds a solution, please share! I need it mainly for track use so aesthetic is not as important as function.

i am going to our local Nuts and Bolts store and will just get a coupling Nut and an extend it. Its metric, M12 is the size of the parts you want. Should only cost a couple more $$ to get it the length you want.

Just an FYI.. My home Depot did not have what I wanted.. But we did have a nice Nuts and Bolts store, or you can actually order exactly what you want online.

You're right, our Home Depot didn't have it and there are no other B&M options locally...online shopping it is. What length did you go with?
