Hey Foosh... with the front of that V strap under the nose of the car, does it pull up into the bottom of the bumper/undertray when winching up on a trailer? I'm about to start trailering to the track again and this looks a lot easier than adding a tow hook to my 2014.

Check the eBay link I posted above. He is making the legs 80" long now, so the D-ring is ahead of the nose of the car.

Too funny... I just bought one yesterday. Saves me from having to rip the nose off again and do a custom install on my 2014 to winch it on the trailer for the track.

Yep, a great bit of insurance to have in the truck cubby at a very reasonable priced.

In any event looking through the front grill I see the nut which is the female part of the towing attachment. The parts department quoted $120 for a long bolt with an eye at the end which is the tow hook. Porsche pricing.
Has anyone had issues with towing the car without a tow hook?
Please share any experience you may have on this subject.
You can get them for much less on ebay and even cheaper if you are patient and wait for a 15% off sale.
