The 2014 didn't come with tow hooks. Do you want to tow your car? When I first got my 2014 it didn't have the tow hook on the battery cover, so I purchased one and put it on the cover, DOH! Then I finally figured out it was of no use.

When I asked the Autocross guys where to put mine on my C7, they all said front. Ironically, when I was configuring my ERay, the location when adding the hook was the back.
it just screws in, so if you were in a position where you needed to change it it wouldn’t be that hard and at least you’d already have it
It’ll be interesting to see what others in the no have to say.

Back when I was a cop, we would often see cars towed away after accidents. I'd say that about 50% of the time the tow driver would loop a chain around whatever part of the car was available. Sometimes I could get them to use a strap on an appropriate location, but usually not.
