I think there discontinued

 

there's some replica in the classified tread
if you want cheap knockoff stuffs

 

There is a set for sale on ebay right now... although last time i checked bid was at $200... LOL... expect to pay big $

 

I wonder how that pic leaked out...

 

oooo hawaiian itr...

 

that thing got dis-continued back in the 90s i belive. then a few floated around. but at this time, good luck finding one brand new. if you be prepared to pay top $$$.

 

Yea..tow hooks aren't worth paying 250 dollars for them, that's just insane!

 

I'm just going to make them

 

wow so much? i had one laying around 3 years ago and sold it for 50 bucks. and it was still a hard item to sell..

 

nice R

 

How often do you plan on towing your R? lol
Its very borderlined on rice

 

Except if your track. It's like a condom; it good to have one and not need it, than need it and not have it.

 

I think I have a front and rear Spoon tow hook hidden somewhere among my loads of lost parts

if you are tracking your car, it is considered good track courtesy. And if your not tracking your car, i think you bought the wrong car.

I'm guessing if he was buying them for use on track, he's just get some cheap ones. It's retarded to spend $200+ on tow hooks for use on track. The only other purpose they serve is to hold a can of beer when you are working on the car.

The farther you go with your track driving training, the more likely it becomes, for even very experienced drivers.

In point of fact, however, the ITR does already have tow hooks, front and rear. You can make do, but the tow people have to reach down under the car to get to the front one, and it's placed inconveniently. I've seen a couple of ITR with little "Tow --&gt;" decals pointing to where the hook is.

The angle is so bad that the tow line is probably going to be on your lip, adding to the pressure you'd normally feel from just getting towed in on a hot track.

You certainly don't need to spend $200 to alleviate that pressure, however.

 

The car is all for the track. They said I need visible tow hooks in order to go on the track, like George said the stock hooks will do, but there so high on the frame that, I'm not going to risk pulling my front lip off if they need to tow it. As far as paying 200 for tow hooks, you have to be a complete idiot or a spoon ***** to pay that much for them.

 

for those who don't care for name.

obx hooks works great, i have tried them ay times. they go for about $40

 

I have some datum engineering tow hooks i need to sell, they look exactly like benen tow hooks but they say DATUM on them...i know they work, cause i had to use the front one when i got a flat tire and didn't have my spare in the car...doh...

$49.00 - http://www.obxracingsports.com...2ID=2

 

Yea, that's the best bet. They look identical to the spoon ones, but there just red. Thanks Bbasso.

 

figgers Bbasso would know where to look in the OBX lineup.

Before getting them though I'd be sure they are actually designed to support the weight of your car being towed out of the mud as opposed to just looking like a useful product.

 

Yea.. I'll find that out lol OBX tends to make stuff look good but then it turns out to be crap. If they can't make steel tow hooks than I honestly feel sorry for them
