Yeah, theres no special mod or anything, there is a screw hole in the air inlet. Just insert and begin twisting til it stops!

well unless you put a turbo front on your N/A I dont see how that is going to work.

Hey do S2's have it? Or is it just us hairdryer types?

All 951/S2 variants have the threads in the bumper support.

For an N/A, you're going to have to get creative and fab something..........

I figured....Would mounting the toe hook to the front bumper be strong enough for towing....?

In otherwords tow the car by the front bumper then...?

I think you should be OK if you fab a nice mount. Remember that "tow eye" doesn't necessarily mean "tow". It is really meant to pull the car out of a ditch, onto a flatbed, trailer, etc. I really wouldn't want to trust it over any real distance.

you guys forgot, tow hooks are aerodynamic advantages! plus it probably allows about 1 cfm more air into the intercooler every hour! (sorry tifo, you cant use that one...)

I think its worth putting on since people bang their knees on em, that has to be quality entertainment when someone complains to you about it.

Yeah, but I towed a car behind a truck by the tow hook for about 3 miles...at least 3 miles. It held up fine. Probably wasnt the smarted move, but it was under desperation.

"Who has the most Beautiful 944 here??"
I didn't think the most beautiful part of the 944 was the non-stock tow eye...although it is big and shiny and....WOW...nevermind..I see it now...

Okay, I'm posting my little NA. What the heck. She's not heavily modified like many of yours but she's mine and I've made her look as good as (I think) a stock appearing NA can be made to look.
