I think tow hooks can be useful for the street if your car is slammed and the oem tow hooks can't be reach easily... aftermarket tow hooks can save a lot of headaches too since it is easily accessible for tow trucks if you ever needed to be towed on a flat bed.

It's a pretty crappy replica of the ings. It's made of abs plastic so it's pretty strong and not as low as the real ings. I already sold it and got a ings replica though.. So it's gone. And I got a tow hook because I wanted to, it will also help with towing if I ever need it and I'm sorry if I'm a poser in some people's opinions.

lol. i suppose i should be doing some backtracking and some explaining?

at a car show (i.e. wek'fest gathering) where a car is being displayed as a show car (like your car), i'm indifferent about tow hooks on cars.

on the other hand, i question the need for people to drive around on a daily basis with a tow hook sticking out of their bumper.

now, if you had forgotten about taking off your tow hook after wek'fest, that's just a matter of being forgetful.

In a matter of personal opinion, I'm all for whatever a person chooses to put on their car. To each their own, IMHO I think a tow hook in a sence has two forms of application, one being for track use and another being an accesory to compliment a cars agressive appearance.
