C5 2001 z06 front tow hook
The local track requires a front tow hook for the road course. My car is currently in storage for the winter. Does anyone know if there is a factory hook on the front, I have googled and found after market.

Nope there's no factory tow hook.
Here's one I installed.
The advantage of this hook is that you don't have to disassemble the front end to install it.

Where did you get the screen with the cutout for the tow hook?

A die grinder and patience then trim it with some door edge trim. I don't know of anybody that sells a screen with a cut out in it already.

I have the flexible tow hook from hardbar:

It hides behind my license plate cover for dd and is accessible at the track. However, the front clip has to come off to install.
