ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

At least SOMEBODY reads what I post!
I was aware that I said it twice... and a few more times in other threads. But that last time was in direct response to the guy saying "if you have an aftermarket lip on your car, you can't use the factory tow hook"... I've nearly cracked my stock, lipless bumper by attempting to tow my car by the "tow hook"!

Onto other silly topics. If you have a tow hook on your car and it can not serve as a tow hook, you should also go buy some awesome decals to cover the entire car.back at it again

Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind having one of those outrageous tow hooks if it somehow had a quick release. Maybe something along the lines of a hitch pin style. I still don't think I could live with myself if I rocked one 24/7 on a DD. But my car does seem to have a habit of getting itself stuck in the snow so that could be helpful

Weld a tapped bracket behind the bumper cover, carefully cut a hole (create a cap if you can) and boom... removable tow hook.

However, wheels do what they are supposed to do. They roll.
A tow hook attached to the plastic bumper does not do what it is supposed to do. You can not tow the car by such a thing. It's no better than one of those "BOV sound" exhaust modifications, or a "DOHC VTEC" badge on a car with an F22A1.
If a part's function is JUST for looks, such as a custom grille, headlight eyelids, etc... fine. They're not functionless parts pretending to have a function. But I see no point in adding a part that has an intended function, that can't perform that function.
