$20.00 for the tow hook and $60.00 Corvette tax.

Wow, you mean you bought it without asking how much it was?

But seriously, the first time you find yourself spun out, off the track and in the mud or gravel, you'll think its worth twice that!

I bought the "generic" eye bolt from a reliable US manufacturer and it was close to $40 shipped. I am sure you can find something cheap for less, but good luck with the China crap. There is a thread here with the specifics. So technically, just a 100% Corvette Tax on the GM one.
