Tow hooks

I love the look of the benen tow hooks, but I can never find any for sale, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of some similar ones, front and back. I have to parallel park a lot downtown Orlando, and I've noticed nice little dents on my bumpers, and I think this is a solution to my problem. Lemme know

I find spaces on the end of the row or in a parking lot/garage.

If the tow hooks stick out further than the bumper, does it mean that you will have bent tow hooks in addition to; bumper dings?-Bob

When I park in the garage, i park real far away from everyone else, but 2-3 times a week I have to drive to the other part of downtown and park in front of another building, which is usually very crowded and I have to drive around a few times, so I can't be too picky with spot. People have jacked up their cars from their Benen Tow Hooks, so I think they will be sturdy enough to stop someone's bumper from bumping into mine as very low speeds

I don't think having it would make a difference since your car is most likely lower than the other.

Ahh you might be right with that, especially the back, the front might still be ok because it comes through by the radiator, i'll check later and see with my roomates car if it would help, good info thanks

The front might be high enough. Here are some pics of my old EJ with them. You can get a better idea. https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/m...minishoot.html

Based on my comparison from a nearby car and a nearby SUV, plus your pictures, I think it will make a different on all cars from the front, and all non-SUVs from the rear, thank you for posting the pictures

So now, anyone know of any quality tow hooks that are near Benens?

it took me a little while to find my benen tow hooks and I got them off a felow TR member. But last time i checked JDMCARBOY.com had hooks I forgot what brand but they had them in different colors as well. But I haven't ordered from their site lately due to the fact that many people are saying they are sending the wrong products or they haven't received it at all but if you do order from them G/L.
