Default Strapping down a 3pc front end car

I don't want to take my bumpers off and on when I trailer or dyno my cars with the 3 piece front ends. If you had to tow it back pit road am I supposed to pull the bumper? Lol

Any ideas? I'm curious to see what everyone else is doing. Id hate to jank up some ricer tow hooks out the turn signals or hood seams... but Ill do it!

Maybe fab something down off the traction bar? Extending its tow hooks so to speak?

Thanks for your time!

Do it like a Prostocker and drill a hole thru the ruff and weld a bar to the cage. We have our Pro Mod this way. If i can find a pic ill post it up. That will take care of if you ever have to tow it at the track anyway.

I would say mounting something off the trac bar or rad support out the front bumper would be a cleaner install than some of the other ideas you threw out there. Just depends whether you would need to hack up the front bumper for a hole to stick it out of. Have you considered those quick disconnect latches for the front bumper to fender? That could make it easier to remove and reinstall the bumper over and over and over lol

i put my strap on the driver side mount bracket (innovative EK mounts)...it works. I thought about adding a removable hook to the traction bar using a quick disconnect pin.
