Default Tow hook options

Hi guys,

I've been looking at tow hooks in case anything were to happen (especially as I start trying to race it more). My main concern is that some of the hooks look like they could bend easily if anything causes it to get jerked around a little. I kinda don't trustt the hooks that are bent without reinforcement. The LG Motorsports hook looks very strong but also bends the grill around to fit and I do still care about the appearance.

Has anyone had tow hooks bend on then?
Know of one that look decent and recommend to be durable enough? In case anything causes it to get jerked around a little while being used.

I just installed the PFADT tow hook and it seems sturdy enough to load into my car trailer. I know others who have it installed and there are not issues with them. The PFADT seems a little close to the bumper for actual use, but will use an extension to avoid any paint issues. I had to cut the drill minimally for both brands, but neither have bent on me.

When I had my Z06, I used LG motorsports and it worked really well. I pulled the car onto the trailer many times without any issues which i posted below. My grand sport with the PFADT is closer to the top portion of the bumper.

That is good to hear, the PFADT is what I would likely go with for cost.

Do you have a picture of the PFADT tow hook on your Grand sport? It looks like that picture is the LG Motorsports hook.
