Default Benen Tow Hooks

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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