Default Tow Hooks for 944 S2

I am looking for front and rear tow hooks for my S2. Where can these be purchased? Thanks for your help.

The front looks like this: and runs under $15. It screws in under the license plate, center.

The rear doesn't have the fancy hole that late 911s got, so, one option are these units that mimic the factory delivery tie-downs - great for trailering and for unplanned landscaping moments at the track. A set runs just under $30. Here they are:


Good Luck!

I recently installed the rear tow hooks that Skip shows above. They appear to be nice hooks but there is a bit of an issue in that the hooks barely clear the air foil on the rear underside of the Turbo and S2 cars. Also the muffler is very close to the left hook and it seems that any tow strap that attaches to the hook will hit the the muffler. Judge for yourself in this photo of my car:



The regular 944NA cars may not have this problem.
