Starting at $50 we have these for the front/rear of the S2000.



Our fold down one is also very popular.

Do you still sell the hard mount, fold down tow hooks or are they discontinued?

We discontined the version below. Demand was just so so in the past 6 mos or so. If we have enough people looking for it, we can make it again no prob.

Is the stock mount pretty strong with these hooks or is it better to mount to the frame like some do?

sorry to crash into the thread. I have a bigger issue, i just installed the Amuse R1 front bumper and waiting for a tow hook that is usable with it since there is no hole in the bumper for the stock hook.

untill i find a solution, im gonna have to track the car with one option of towing it using the stock rear hook in case something happenes. do you think i'd be fine with this temporary solution? i have three track days ahead during January.

Back to topic: i used the stock hook at the front twice before and it held up ok.

I've been PM'ing them about it as well. Last I heard, they were currently in production, but with no known delivery date.

All hooks have the same bending load issue. You have to pull straight.

The OEM tow hooks works fine if you pull straight forward. I think were you will run into issues with it snapping is if you try to lift up on it. I'd rather have an aftermarket tow hook bend instead of snap like the OEM will.

pushing to get it in the machine/welding schedule. Our facility also does TONS of military and defence work, so were always fighting for dates. The quality is always worth it tho.
