Default Front Tow Hook

I have received a couple photos in last two months showing high end cars that had encounters with animals. One was a Porsche and the other was a BMW. I noticed both had an eye bolt sticking out the right side of the front bumper area. Has anyone installed one of these on a Vetter? Later! Frank

It is in the spare tire kit for most higher end cars, that are low to the ground and is not applicable to the corvette.
I have never seen a racing style aftermarket either.

factory put TWO front tow hook loops on your vette...located just behind the engine cradle on each side...you can reach in behind the front wheel and find them even if you're stevie wounder and it's dark, no moonlight...these are positioned properly to reduce tow operator damage...there are also two hook loops on the rear, just in front of each rear wheel...find all the loops yourself now so that if the car must be towed you can watch the tow truck operator and make sure that she does not snag on to the aluminum suspension components under the car and create future failure (which the tow co will deny, natch)
