Hi everyone,

So as the thread title says, I'm finally gearing up to go track my G! Very excited. But I just found out that at least a front tow hook (and preferably both front and rear tow hooks) is REQUIRED for the venue where I'm going to race! The problem is that I have an aftermarket front bumper (AIT, fiberglass) that totally covers the stock tow hook location. I saw that someone on here had posted about a fabricated metal piece that moves the tow hook location down 1.5", but I don't think 1.5" is going to help in my case.

So.....what do people with aftermarket bumpers do??? I *really* don't want to cut a permanent hole in the center of my beautiful bumper just to reveal access to the stock tow hook location, unless I have no other choice. I've seen pics of other cars with an aftermarket tow hook that has been affixed to a front/side location (approximately under the headlight of the car) so that it can stick out through the grille/mesh rather than the bumper itself, but wouldn't it be less than ideal to have one's car towed from a corner of the front frame rather than the center? It seems like the tow hook has to be midline to be effective, right??

I also can't find any information about anywhere to mount a tow hook on the rear of the car. I'm hoping that it could be done discreetly under the rear bumper somewhere...I have a stock rear bumper. If so, can someone please tell me exactly where (pics would be great) and what did it take to do it--i.e., bolting? Welding? And what kind of tow hook I should get (safest/strongest/coolest-looking, since it's apparently going to be on there permanently).

Thanks so much in advance for any additional information!!
