I need to install track tow hooks on my 2002 Z06 and I was wondering what you guys using? What mods need to be done to facia, etc. Thanks
Bill

 

I am thinking of getting some Pfadt hooks. They install in the rear using the muffler mounts, but the front i believe you have to drill holes in the subframe and come out where the front mesh is.

 

Phoenix Performance

Facia does not need any mods.

Rear - bolts to the muffler bracket


Front - sticks out though the screen - bolted to the frame. - They make folding ones now

 

Ive installed the Pfadt ones and they are nice pieces and pretty easy to install.

 

Thanks guys, I'll check both of them out.

 

Our C5 Tow Hooks are easy to install and include everything you need! The front bodywork doesn't require any modification; it comes out through the screen.

Thanks guys. I'll be calling later today. Do you also sell the "tow" decals?

 

Get folding tow hooks. Mine are not folding so I need to replace at least the front.
Other wise you quickly learn to go WAY around or you bang your shin quite a bit.

The other thing about folding hooks, is that if you have Car to Car contact you wont spear the other car.

 

I;ve got a brand new set of Pheonix folding tow hooks (F&R) w/ all the hardware sitting on the shelf. Make me an offer if you're interested...

Here's some pics of the Phoenix folding tow hooks. To put on the front, the fascia has to come off. You can see the front bumper beam. You have to drill two holes in the underside of the beam to attach the front tow hook.



Then, where it protrudes through the front fascia, you can either bend plastic grill trim around the screen so the tow hook comes out between the painted fascia and the grill screen, or cut the screen like I did:



If you don't use the muffler hanger in the rear, then mounting the rear tow hook is as simple as using the exisiting studs from the muffler hanger. If you do, then the existing studs probably aren't long enough. In that case, the rear fascia has to be removed so you can put in longer studs. To get the exhaust tips level on both sides, you might want to put in longer studs on the other side too and use washers to put the hanger at the same level as the side with the tow hook. Here's mine:



You can put the tow hooks on the front and rear on the driver's or passenger's side.

I've seen both the Phoenix folding and Pfadt hooks. The Phoenix folding hooks are a lot thicker and weigh more. I'm not sure if the added thickness is necessary or not. Since the Pfadt hooks are thinner, putting in longer studs in the back may not be necessary. I'm not sure. That would make the install of the rear one a lot less time consuming if you didn't have to remove the rear fascia.
