Default Freshly installed cup holder

Well after asking a couple HTer if they knew where and how to install a tow hook, i took the liberty to just do it myself. I think it came out rather good.. so here are the pics. Also, flamers, don't hate cuz it sticks out, or looks outta place, i got it for 7 bucks so i just had to hop on that deal

picture of tow hook:


"cup holder"


and a shot of car w/ tow hook


Thanks for watching

Nicest cup holder I've seen.

Do they have one for supersized drinks?

Think of it as an anti-theft device.... You can park near a lamp post and chain up the car like a bicycle, haha!

Seriously though, that will come in handy if you need to tow your car around, and you can easily take it off when not in use.

i mounted it to the frame using 2 bolts. There was a hole already there but i needed to drill another one to ensure it was stable.

^jefs0ng: don't worry.. the lip will be painted! like i said, i'm lacking the funds right now, i spent my last 7 bucks on the tow hook, rather than lunch

need to put an arrow pointing to it, so when you're off track and the tow crew comes, they know where the hook is.

Oh wait, that will probably never be an issue

I'm confused on how this hook can be used when your car is being towed. How? Is this supposed to be more convenient than the conventional method of towing?
