Default C5 Rear Tow Hook, Anyone know who sells these?

I can't find one anywhere.

I found one on RPI designs website, I ordered it and they said they no longer carry it.

If you do a Google search on VMS C5 REAR HOOK you will find what you are looking for.

Dunno if anyone else makes them.

Personally I am not a fan of two hooks. I elected to go with a tow strap because I do not like banging my shin on the car as I walk by it in the garage. Got my $15 SPARCO tow strap on Amazon.

Yes I saw those but I did not see a hinged version on their site. That's a great option. The solid ones are still $95 front and $85 rear. The tow strap I bought was $15 and the bolts were an additional $15 if I recall correctly.

I have had the hinged versions for 3 years and like that they are very solid. Have not taken out a shin yet. Email or call Joe Aquilante. He is out racing a lot lately so response time could be slow.
