...Does anyone have a Benen tow hook on the front of their EF?

I just bought a set(front, back) and Im not sure how the front one mounts up.

If anyone has pics and info please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

i would like to know also... one thing is that i sold like how the rear one fits plus it gets cars stolen faster

 

take another hit cheech!

 

I've always wondered if they line up with the stock towhook holes

 

Do you even need it

 

no not funny

 

racing rules require them, for street, I think they look bad, especially in bright colors

 

thats a matter of opion... besides i got black ones!
now back to the technical part of this thread... how does the front one bolt up?

 

They typically bolt the the front "frame" and you cut the bumper. That is how it is done for racing, because when you get towed it must be solid because those guys are not gentle.

I still don't see the point of them for the street. It makes me laugh even hard when I see them at the track, as they are for "street candy" typically.

 

Yep its, sorry about that, but be careful when walking in front of your car, they've been known to bash your shins >_<
Pot a picture once you get it on, i've been curious to see one on an ef.

 

Return it. Then get yourself a nylon tow strap, that way when you need it it's there and when you don't you can tuck it behind the bumper cover. Pegasus sells ones legal for both scca and nasa.

Also when you do end up rear ending a car your bumper will have a chance at doing what it's supposed to and not transmitting all the force straight to your frame.

Then again if it's for show install it with self tappers, whats it matter how it's mounted if your not going to actually use it.

 

it's worth 10 JDM points I've heard...

 

i was going to get a Datum or Benen tow hook for the front b/c the rear is easily acessible...but decided on the Nukabe ones...smaller and more discrete...i'm getting them b/c NASA says so

and i turned up this in a 2 second search
