I don't understand tow hooks being rocked like a gold chain or spinning rim
Am I the only one who thinks a tow hook on the front of a sexy car is fugly? These are meant to install if, heaven forbid, you break down or crash and need to drag the car from a horrible situation. And there is a tow hook in the trunk for just this, install it, tow it, then remove it, no?

Just think of it was a nose ring.

Not sure why, but I think people feel the need to fill in the circular gap. I think it distracts from front end especially if red.

If you put the tow ring in....after you paint it red. You can make a 20 minute video about it.

To each his own, but I agree, it's not a look I care for.

I like it on my Red hot ZL1. Matches it nicely and compliments the aggressive front end.

It makes sense on a track car at the track.

Maybe SOME are trying to emulate the RACE CAR look???? Ya Know, The "LOOK AT ME" look. To much "RICER" for Me.

It can also be used to winch your car up onto a trailer if you trailer your car to/from events.

Maybe someone has installed a tow hook because they actually track the car.
Most tracks require it. |

Yup it’s a track thing. Very practical if you track your car and I think they look cool!
