#10396, "Has anyone installed tow hooks(best place to install)??"


          

Ok guys need help here i'm trying to find the best location to install tow hooks(front and Rear) on our ecplises. I'm not going for the ricy looks but for more practicallty. Recently , I hit a ice patch spun the car and buried deep in the snow and mud. Luckly nothing was damaged. A couple of passerbys offered to pull my car out with tow hooks. However, there was no mounting place for the tow hooks. i was forced to use my lower strut bar as a anchor. Now my strut bar is bent and my rear aliment is off. emoji . thanks for the space.

the frame goes under the front, u could install one there possibly. I don't really know about the rear. Maybe there is a bar or a frame or something u could use that is stable.

this summer when i was at a lake, i happened to see an eclipse with a tow hook on his back, towing a wave runner. never seen one on an eclipse before.. his was right in the middle of the car, it looked like it was coming off part of the frame right behind the bumper.. didnt get a great look at it, b/c he was turning.


^^what once was^^


^^what is now.. and permanently^^
