Default Benen tow hooks

I saw these on a car and I think I wanna get a set but how do they hook up. Reason I want one is the way my rear kit is it would be impossible to tow it without it damaging the kit but if I had one that stuck out a little I would be able to tow it or atleast get it on a flat bed of some kind without that much of an issue. PS they look kinda trick to haha.

More like steal me. The rear is so easy to steal. I was thinking of welding the bolt on.

any person with a wench or a tow hitch on his suv can pull you car down the road with great ease. y would you pay for that ? personally i thought about getting them but my car is reliable and it really never sees a flat bed or any other towing device. hence the purpose of the tow hooks.. just use lock tight on the bolts if your worried about someone stealing it.

Yeah that is like HELPING the thieves. Why not just keep it in your trunk and IF you need it, bolt it on? It's only two bolts...!

If they want to tow your car i doubt they are going to stop because there are no tow hooks.

Think of it this way. You and another buddy with a clean/nice EG hatch or whatever park next to each other. Theives come up and see one has a tow hook that will make it easier...which do they take? Probbaly the one with the tow hook.

every fricken car has a tow hook. this doesn't make it easier for a theif.

maybe we should cut off our OEM tow hooks and weld ourselves shut in our car so no theif can take it.
