Racing Tow Hooks Review and Photos

Have been busy lately, so I did not have a chance to post any new reviews or DIY lately.

Here is my new addition.

Back in September I asked here on the forum if any vendor will make racing tow hooks for our smarts. I know that BPP have one for very long time, but I wanted something different. Since then I have many of the members PM me and asked if I ever found them anywhere.

So here it is......

Made by SmartCar Performance and sold thru Smartmadness.
They are a little bit pricey, but I think well worth a price IMHO.
Smartmadness have them in Silver, Red and Black.

I got the black ones. Install took about 15 seconds and I really like the look. By the way this racing tow hooks is not just for the show, but rated at 4000lb.

Here is few pics....

Well, if someone steals your car we can assume how they did it.

Kidding! Looks great Cube.

I was kinda wandering about it......
But at least next time I get stuck in the sand on the beach, it would be much easier get out.
