Are there any different types of screws or anything that i could do so that no one will try to steal them. I wanted to know if it would be a good idea to tack weld the nut on to the bolt. Please help i'm getting restless to put this on

jdmstylesi909 · 10-30-2009, 09:13 PM

I suggest to use a socket bolt.
I used them on my tow hoosk back in the day, they never got fff with..

What thieves normally carry an allen wrench on them?

thekhmer · 10-30-2009, 10:41 PM

use a wheel lock

Sell them. Tow hooks on non-tracked cars are for toolbags.

Just like you probably have an exhaust, full coilovers, etc. to each his own.

Fuctional on the street:

Exhaust

Coilovers

Tow hooks

Hell even those jdm soshinoya badges are more useful.

They're stupid, ugly and are something else for someone to run into.

I can see what you mean..
But at least if someone rear ends you, you have a pre-bumper.

Haha...yeah. Ouch!!

An ex gf rear ended someone with my '91 Accord in the snow one time. The suv she hit had a tow hitch. OUCH.

x3. silly ricers.

Ben850 · 11-03-2009, 02:41 PM

everyone obviously has an opinion, but why so much hate? it is true that most of us would never do this mod on a DD non-tracked car, but why not just help the dude out and call it a day?

Exactly..BENEN sells 10000's of these.
I think they look good on the right vehicle.

K5^ · 11-03-2009, 05:16 PM

This is HT, if it doesn't take five pages of hating/bickering then it's not a worthy topic.

kevin00si · 11-06-2009, 05:16 PM

tow hooks... theyre not toooo bad. haha. depends on the vehicle!

Fenrir51 · 11-18-2009, 05:29 AM

So if you get stuck in the snow or run off the road its a good thing you did not have that JDM tow hook?

do you people not realize that the car comes with tow hooks stock? how do you think all the millions of cars without jdm tow hooks get towed?

Fenrir51 · 11-19-2009, 06:09 AM

I don't own a Honda guy.

Exactly...the rear aftermarket tow hook actually bolts to the stock tow hook on many cars.

CerealKiller · 11-19-2009, 01:30 PM

Back tow hooks have no purpose, front side tow hooks in the other hand make for great soft drink holders.
