The reason why I put the Tow Hooks is because I am shipping my car over to Hawaii and they need to put it on a trailer...there is no way that i would let them use the stock Hooks and pull my front bumper right off...

Is there only one bolt holding that tow hook in place? I wouldn't use that to tie down the car. It will not hold up.

Yes it's only held by one bolt, but it's pretty sturdy...you just need to tighten the Tow Hook to the Bumper Support as tight as possible...

Why would I take my front bumper off and ship it like that...Sorry bro but that wouldn't make any sense to me...I rather get tow hooks and ship it like that...Plus I already called the people that are shipping my car and they said that Nothing can be in the car...I can't even have anything in my glove compartment...

why dosent that make sense?it saves you money and its only a few bolts to remove the bumper lol then they have access to the factory tow hook so they wont damage your stock bumper.

Use the stock tow places. You are trusting one sheet of metal with one bolt over tow plates mounted on the frame rails? I trailer my race car a lot and I can tell you even with the car slammed you won't rip off the bumper.

I've had a bumper rip off already so I ain't even trying to go there....If anything they can just tow it from the back...I have that Tow hook too...

I've never had problems using the stock town points either. The stock ones seem more sturdy just from looking. I can see where the benen one is in a better location though.

Yea that tow hook isnt going to hold up worth a shit if you really have to use it. Dont we already have tow hooks that are directly attached to the frame lol

Yes we do have tow hooks but if you read my other reply I already had a bumper ripped off of my car using the Stock Hooks.
