A tow hook is required at all track events. Besides that, if you ever get a lowered car towed you'll know why a tow hook very necessary. Besides that, the Eclipse doesn't have any front (or rear) tow points. :)

I'd paint it black if i were you so it doesn't stand out so much.

Just shows an error code.

Is that secured onto the bumper reinforcement?

[TTalon95]

Where did you buy the tow ring? I went thru all that bullshit of having a lowered car being a royal pain in the ass to get towed, not fun.

IGS: Car looks good. I also have a black 2G with CF hood & pins. Good taste!

For some reason these things are really hard to find.

I bought it online at CarPro.

[TTalon95]

Which one do you have off that website?

[igs]

The small one.

[TTalon95]

Much appreciated :D

I wish they had like a polished one or black one. Oh well.

I'd definitely paint it black cause it kind of sticks out, literally.

I bet AAA would really like me to install one of those on my car. :D

I def. understand what you guys are saying about towing, I hate getting my ride towed, flatbed truck or not!!! I've been wanting to get two(one on both sides) for a while. plus they will look nice on my 1g, but im sure there will be a few "haters" out there!LOL!

You obviously don't drive your car hard. I do and I have AAA's number memorized. :) Mostly it's from practicing my road racing skills. Thankfully I'm getting better. :D What's the point of having a high powered sports car if you drive it slow. :o

O, I love the widebody kit on the BMW. :rockon:

[terrible]

I was thinking about getting one of those to keep from sticking my hand down in a foot of mud. He He yeah I said mud you road race'n sissies!:P

Also, I seriously doubt you beat on your car more than I do. :rolleyes: And I don't make a lot of money so I can't fix stuff right away and after a day of fixing other peoples cars I don't feel like working on mine to. It's not like I let small problems turn into big problems, I just don't worry about stuff that I know will last a while without a problem. :P

I like the rx7. :D

you cant compare those cars to yours :dunno:

[knockedoutawd]

Just makes it easier for someone to jack your car as far as Im concerned.... GOOD JOB!

[Tomcat80]

How do you actually get an 2g gsx on a flatbed? how is it pulled on the truck when the eclipse don't have any towing hooks?
I'm from Norway, every car has a towing hook in europe, so I've never thought of it...

[turbo_talon17]

There are tow hook points behind the front wheels in the frame and in front of the back wheels in the frame. I drive a tow truck so I know.

I was just about to say that...unfor. I can find them with my eyes closed:(

thankfully with this new motor my hook-up skills have gotten a little rusty..I hope to keep it that way to;)
