I remember something about that as well. I took a $65 chance. The guys in the Bay Area didn't return my call.

I'm not going to lose sleep over it but I'm surprised with the number of Pcars on tracks that there are not more tow hooks out there.

That was me with Delsa. (Do a search and you'll find the thread.)

The Delsa guy is an idiot. It clearly didn't fit and he told me how many thousands he sold and I'm the first guy it didn't fit for and blah blah blah. I sent him photos showing that his was clearly smaller in size for the threads versus the stock one and then he fessed up that they made some the wrong size and he finally returned my money after I gave him a bad rating on eBay and sent it back to him (in Canada).

Also, his looked good but the quality was really only fair at best.

Sounds like my $65 chance is turning into a longshot.

I was the one that got Holger and all on to the Delsa hook but I to had it returned no questions asked. Had to wait a while for the refund though! The hook was very well made though.

Ciao,

J.

PS. I'm in in a TC group buy!

It is serves its function only as well as it fits.

The TC one is well designed and a quality item. I think its better if you think about function over looks here.

Sorry Guys I was at T-hill yesterday testing a few cars.

We can do a group buy for $60 for a front hook, but we need to collect 10 people. we have them in both black or red. If you email me your name, address and phone number I can call you for the billing info. Please do NOT email me your credit card number.

If you need it so soon why don't you just open your front trunk. It comes with a factory one.
