Default Rennline

I recently ordered a race tow hook from Rennline with an extra 2 additional red "TOW" stickers. Not only did I not receive the 2 additional stickers (which they charge $10 for) they also charged me $95 for the hook which the package states costs $50. Is this really their markup (almost 100%)? I am not very happy. Does anyone know what the cost really is for these tow hooks? What is everyone else's experience with this company? Thanks.

Price is about right. It's just that they use the screw for other applications too. Hence the different bag and zero price.
About stickers it’s obviously their fault. But 911slow will send you his stickers because he hates all decals. : )
PM an address and will send them Monday.

I'm sure Rennline will make it right by sending out the replacement sticker.

For the hook price, however.. I'm sure when you check out on the website, it is $95, not $50, right?

Thanks slow. You don't have to, you know.

Just didn't want to be taken advantage of with the price. I'm trying to feed my wife and four kids...and you know how much Greek Cypriots eat! I spent all my money on the GT3 and halloumi.

Haloumi saganaki oh man don't get me tempted! It’s past midnight here! I was planning to go for a drink but now.. I might rearrange : )

Anyway if you want them let me know I have no use for them. BTW they are white.

Just have rennline refund your $10 back. I think everyone knows it's a tow hook- no decal needed : ). Mike

Since I'm putting the "Tow" sticker on, I might as well go all the way and put GT3 RS decals and upbadge the car, right?

I like your red car : ). You should powdercoat the hook red for a really nice look : ). Mike

Bought lots from Rennline, including one of these tow hooks, and they are straight up. If unsure, just give em a call. Not doing the sticker either.

The guys from rennline are great to deal with. Tow hook price on their web site is $95. Just call them and tell them about the stickers, I am positive they will send them out to you no charge. I just ordered a bunch of parts from them and there was some missing hardware. They sent them out right away. They were very responsive. Great customer service for me so far.

By the way, did you actually open the package yet? My tow hook had the stickers tucked inside the instructions.

Those stickers are probably on tow hook unlike the ones with the arrow shaped one pointing towards tow hook. Mike
