The best way to install a tow hook is to return it to where to bought it from and let some other moron waste their money on such a useless product.

Reasons tow hooks are good to have.

1) If you have front or rear lips you don't want to damage while towing.
2) Stock hooks are prone to snapping, and I will not risk my race-car.
3) If I'm in a sandtrap, the hooks save the crew from having to dig to gain access to my stock-hooks.

And if you dont race your car, at least they're good for opening beers when an opener is not in close proximity.

Don't hate just b/c you don't get it.

edit- And they dont make your car any easier to steal. Your car comes with tow-hooks from the factory.

I drive a 96 civic, it comes with a tow hook stock. Its under the car, and even body painted, but not too noticable. Does your car not come with one?
