You'd have to bolt it to your front bumper beam. So consider how and where your bumper beam sits in relation to your bumper cover. If it sit high and inside, you may have to cut some of your bumper cover to mount the tow hook.

If you want to mount it to the top of your bumper beam, you'll have to cut a hole in your cover for the tow hook to slip through for you to get the bumper cover on and off (and allow the hook to mount up).

Keep in mind that this hook will mount up horizontal up front (like a basket ball hoop). The rear mount vertical, like a standing tire.


For your Amuse bumper, you may want to mount it on the underside of the bumper beam. There's less cutting involved....you may even get away with drilling two holes into your bumper cover (on the underside of the top part of the "mouth" area). Unfortunately, the underside of the bumper beam had only a thin sheet of metal welded from the front of the rebar to the rear rebar (making up your whole bumper beam). If you actually want to use it to tow, this may not be the best part of the bumper beam to bolt/weld to. That thin metal may not support the force of pulling the car. If you're doing it for show, then it'll fit there fine...but then you'll have to be very careful in regards to your paint with uninstalling/installing the bumper cover.

 

Also....functional tow hooks can be flush mounted vertically. However, you'd need to open a slit in your bumper beam, find a location to feed the bolts horizontally. I'm not exactly sure with the S2000 bumper beam if you'd be able to bolt the hook like this, you may have to get it welded into place.

Then you'd have to cut a slit in your bumper cover for the hook to pass through. In my book, this is the cleanest way to install hooks. It will be functional, give the "hard-core racer" finish to your car, and won't protrude too far out from your bumper cover.

 

Thanks for the help Urmil. It sounds like it involves cutting, which I don't want to do.

 

FYI Ernie (SPOONUS) who used to own this particular tow hook had it mounted vertical (like a tire) up front. Im not sure how he mounted it, but he did have a slit cut into his front bumper (Ings)

Im sure you could mount this "for looks" with no cutting required to your front end - however it wouldnt be functional.
