yes.
no, i just wanna see how theyre installed, cause ive never seen a picture that actually shows them bolted onto something on the car... which leads me to believe theyre just bound to the car by magic
haha

Re: (sk8shorty012)
my question about these hooks are can they really handle draging the car?
ive thought about geting one for my winter beater just to make it easier for me to hook onto the car to pull it out of a snow bank or ditch or what not just incase of a accident during a snow/icy winter.....
doesnt look to me like that location would be strong enough to pull the car.... maybe with the cars wheels on the ground not bottomed out... sure it would be good enough. but i dont want to be digging my car with a shovel to get to the LCAs to hook onto if i ever do slide off the road in a ditch i cannt just drive out of.
i used to have a 84crx that was so rusted out that rear tow hook was almost completly rusted off the body.LOL

You can. So you could jam it up against your bumper if you wanted to. Or you could leave a gap between the hook and the bumper.
