Yahhhh!! Can't wait for Xhibit to steal my ride and install a plastic rollbar (toilet piping)......

The tow hook is a nice little gadget but hopefully I won't have to use it cause when you do, it usually doesn't look good for the driver.....

BTW The seller just replied and they added some more in their listings.... And ordered mine!!

CAUTION!

I just installed the tow hook on my car. The part that screws into the car is very loose (seems to be a size too small) until the collar becomes flush with the metal bumper. It seems strong enough to pull the car around the track if the engine wouldn't fire or I ran out of gas, but if they latched onto that to pull me out of a tire wall, a ditch, etc., it could conceivably rip right out of the bumper. I'd also be concerned about it possibly loosening up due to vibration.

I shot off an e-mail to the seller asking him about why it's so loose when you screw it in. Maybe they sent the wrong part (they have the same thing for BMW's)?

Now that I think about it, there's a factory tow hook in the tool kit. When I remove this one, I'll install the OEM one to see how it fits for comparison.

There are some other minor issues about the design that I'll get into when I post the pics. The unit itself seems sturdy, but the anodized part already had a small chip in it when I got it.


Dead-Eye, you can imgaine our shock when the postal carrier rang our bell on a Sunday!

You can't get a wrench or a socket on it unless you remove the bumper cover (but you can work around this issue):

Should of waited till your input..... Now mine is on the way!!

Anyways I'm sure I'll find a way to make it more sturdy.

Thanks for the pictures.

Fongster

Mr. C4

Hey Holger,

Are you saying that the thread is different (smaller)?

Have you tried it in the back of the car?

Any response from Delsa Motorsport?

Have you tried it on your BMW?

I have yet to try my TWO hooks on the car as the car is in Sweden and I'm in Singapore.

I hope this is not money down the drain!

Ciao,

Johannes

Fongster

go call Arch and see if he would let u try it on his car...

Mr. C4

Arch?

The threads appear to be about 1/16" smaller than on the stock tow hook. The back should be the same as the front, since the car comes with one hook in the tool kit.

I'm corresponding with the seller. Their response:
"We apologize for the late reply. We are surprised that these tow hook
won't screw into Porsche (sold over thousands worldwide). Maybe the
shipping department shipped wrong model??

Please send us installation pictures on vehicle and also measure the
thread width. We'll get back to you with all the assistance from our
technical department."

Haven't tried it on the BMW. Sent these photos along with additional explaination to them.
