Should be one next to your spare tire.

kenchan · 07-12-2012, 10:45 AM

you should get 4, one for each corner.

Theres a tow hook that screws into the front of the car (behind the fangs)
The hook itself is located under the trunk mat by the spare tire. There is no rear tow hook.
If your car is lowered, I recommend keeping some wood shims in there as well. Mine is so low, it can't be towed even by flatbeds, without inching it over wood.
Stock height will have no problems getting onto a truck.

There's a fixed rear towhook as well, it's under the rear bumper on the driver's side, hard to miss once you go looking for it.

God how I hate to ask this question, but what is under the butt hole on the rear bumper? Joke away, but what is the answer?

kenchan · 07-12-2012, 01:55 PM

Nothing.

You can open it with a butter knife

Is their enough strength to drill and tap a tow hook under the butt hole?

kenchan · 07-12-2012, 02:00 PM

i think only good for rear view cameras.

Umm I don't think so. I think there's a styrofoam crumple bar back there.

I thought someone used it as a spot for a tow hitch. You could probably fabricate something up, but why.
