It may be possible to cut a square out and weld in a threaded bung, you need to work with a very experienced welder. Unless you are a welder yourself. Aluminum is tricky and you have to make sure that welding it doesn't make it brittle. Hope that helps.

Good afternoon Alcheng!

Yes, my foot did kinda dominate that shot didn't it? But hey, it's only a 10 1/2 and that's pretty average isn't it? Isn't it??

ahh...yah, i read there's no rear tow hook on the Z. i was thinking the strap-down hook would work (driver side rear), but later read that is not to be used for pulling.

i suppose if one crashes the car at a track, who cares....just pull and see wat happens. lol

Rod Saraiva · 04-28-2012, 05:40 PM

it's a good idea, or I just cut, and leave a hole with the tow hook appearing... I need to see exactly where it out on the bumper

kenchan · 04-28-2012, 05:42 PM

rod- is this only for cosmetics? then yes, just make a bracket and mount it somewhere on the bumper.

It's true! :P hahaha
But my fear is smash the drivetrain :/

Kenman I'm not sure if a bracket could be wrapped around the bumper. I don't think just a plate bolted on the bumper would be strong enough?? I'm talking about the alum bumper under the bumper cover.

Fire · 04-28-2012, 05:46 PM

Happy you sux for living close to the beach LOL

We live about 15 minutes away and take advantage of the good weather as often as possible! We've got a big umbrella that I pitch and we hang out under it in our beach chairs with Nooks in-hand!

Don't worry tho: the Z goes NOWHERE near the beach!

Rod Saraiva · 04-28-2012, 05:49 PM

I'll see it and respond when solving... Thx!

there's plenty of room from the rear bumper to the differential....like maybe over 35cm. i dont think the tow hook would damage any part of the drivetrain if you got rear-ended. probably put a hole in your stock muffler can though. haha.

we're talking about a tow hook for decoration, right? the rear bumper can probably hold it.
