Tow hooks for when you off track in the peat gravel and just need assistance getting back on track.. might be useful for a few other situations, but the straps would be better for say getting it on a trailer or something. The straps like above useless on a track, you'll never get under car to use them.. that is why we have tow hooks. Everything is situational. I have quality Tow Hooks as well, but......

I had to wait 3 months to get into body shop for minor front end damage here in DFW.


Was at body shop for 2 months waiting for space then parts. Repair was better than I thought it would be.


They replaced everything.
Good luck on your repair.

Good luck, hope they can.

At least I had my 07 C6 to drive while they fixed the C7.

Beautiful convertible! Your challenge now is twofold; making sure the repair is right, and, to inspect for damage incurred by the tow truck jockeying, and exposure in the shop.

The tow strap is out of stock on eBay, any alternative sources? Is the leg length of the bridle actually 80"? I'm looking around for alternatives, maybe even something on Amazon for those that do not eBay...

I've never purchased anything on eBay, either, so don't feel bad!

My comment was based on an earlier comment about not using eBay. Since they are out of stock anyway, seemed a good time to look for an alternative. just needed to confirm if the legs are actually 80 inches. As I cannot find anything even close to that...

BTW: I have bought and sold many things on eBay. My largest purchase was an Acura TL lease return back in 2002... Grabbed a 2001 TL for a song... Put 256k on that car...

Bought it new in 07. Has 250,000 miles of smiles and still pulls strong. Can’t tell it from the way it looks. Needs some torque tube rebuild.
