Default Tow hooks

After watching my car stumble on the backstretch of NSS with my wife behind the wheel, it occured to me that we have no way of dragging it off the track should it not be able to make it back to the pits under it's own power. So I thought a tow-hook might not be a bad idea.

Does anyone make them specifically for C5s?
Is there a "correct" place to mount them?
What about cars with Z06 screens?

Muffler hanger



Though the screen. attach ( bolt or weld to the cross beam in front of the frame rail



Phoenix also makes tow hooks with a hinge so the dont stick straight out and bash your shin if you walk to close to your car.

We make them for both C5 and C6...

Send us an email and steve will send pictures. I recommend the hinged version since you don't hit your leg on them while walking around the car...

Take a look at the Brey-Krause rear tow hook for the C^ & Z06.No drilling or welding.
