In addition the thread shape has changed to a more flatter instead of rounded which makes it harder to install by hand even if you had the old in previously. Rennline also now recommends that 1 spacer be installed for correct fitment.

Everything you stated is correct, except for the spacer. The install instructions that come with these are our previous generation 911 instructions, we're in the process of updating that, but NO spacer is needed with this new design, only the rubber o-ring to ensure the tow hook is 'timed' correctly (ie. horizontal).

Question regarding these Rennline Tow Hooks.

Is the front and rear for the GT4 the same? Just purchase 2 of these?

Go to the Rennline site and then select your vehicle. That will bring up a selection menu which will include different links for front and rear.

Thanks mate, that helped. I searched GT4 and only one came up but the rear is listed as the 981/718/Panamera one.

Charliekay, you got the right one! The GT4 rear tow hook will also work on the 981/718/Panamera

Can someone bring me up to speed on why one would use an aftermarket tow hook? Issues with the OEM version?

Mainly looks. I use the folding Rennline one up front and the OEM in the rear - whats behind me is not important
