C5Z Tow Hook.. Any recommended
Can someone recommend a good tow hook for the C5Z06?
Looking for front tow hook only at this time and the type that protrudes though front grill mesh--not the bumper. Thanks!

I suggest looking at what Trackspec released recently. Although I don't have these, I have many other products from these guys and I consider their stuff "top shelf".

After Dark Speed has the best ones. They dont put any bolts in shear when in use.

I use the front one to winch the car in the trailer every time, and the rear has been used to pull me out of off track excursions a few times and they still look new.

I ended up ordering the Spec Corvette/Track Spec Motorsports front and rear.
I wish I would've waited and saw your post as it was 250$ with tax and shipping. Similar style front and rear though. Rear bolt to exhaust bracket/chassis and fronts come through the mesh grill.
What do you mean by shear bolts on the after dark racing? I'm pretty sure these are grade 8 hardware.
-Thanks!

vs others that mount flat on the bottom of the frame:
Even the spec Corvette ones only have a small lip that barely clears the radius of the frame.
