They're for pulling other people out of the ditch.

Give pple the illusion that they are driving a race car.

I cringe every time I see a race-like tow hook on a street car equipped with mega boombox + PS3 + ground EFX lighting + hot babe. Where are you racing to? How many starters? Where's the finishing line? Is it green flag now or double-yellow? Who's leading? How many pitstops you making? Are you carry full fuel load or half or quarter?

The next accessory to have is a fire extinguisher. Preferably AFFF. The really hardcore ones will have pull-cables, E-switches and nozzles near the driver and in the engine bay. Then there will still be a mega boombox + PS3 + ground EFX lighting + hot babe.

Funny, guys!
Back to the original question. Isn't it the way the cars are secured during the trip by sea?

Tow eyes are not used in the very few seconds that are alotted to lash a vehicle in a PCTC for ocean shipment.

I know this is how it is done on the foreign made Camry's. We use to get a lot of those in, just 3 hours from the factory and we got Japenese Camry's. Anyway, those have the square cutout in the bumper to tie them down on the boat.

My question is why do I always see BMW's with toe hook covers missing. Do they break down so often that the tech just don't bother putting them back on...cheers!

Fire extinguishers split to separate thread.

Can anyone recommend reasonably priced options. Such as chrome bumpers or even hitches. Have seen a couple of bumpers but they seem high priced. Any bargains or complete accessory lists for using the tow points?
