I haven't seen one and doubt I will. It's just not the sc way and plus tow hooks aren't as popular as they once were. I had them on my civic as a means to keep people from riding my **** and a drink holder for while i'm conversating with people. As for anyone making them. I'm not sure but I'm sure you can get some universal ones or something similar.

I know for a fact you searched on this, so why you didn't see the other threads I dunno. Try refining your search terms.... there are threads on towing as far back as 2002 or so that I remember.

I've seen to HITCHES on some SC's, but tow HOOKS, as in a hook in the front bumper, then I seriously doubt they make them.

oh man i wish i had some pics. a few weeks ago i was helping a buddy install coilovers and a diff in a 92 sc300. the guy just bought it and it has a tow hook in the front. had a nice slit cut in the front bumper through which it stuck out. i liked it. definitely beats the location of the stock ones. when i got stuck in a ditch and had to be towed out the guy used the stock one. bent the chit out of it too. i had to remove and straighten it out.

i was planning to make a CAD file and cut a few on the waterjet at school. if i actually get around to it this summer ill post the file.

they also make the universal nylon tow straps. they work really well and can be hidden much easier then a hook.

There's a difference between a possible friendly bump and a piece of thickass metal being shoved into your front bumper or something else from that person breakchecking you. It actually worked though.
