I know for a fact you searched on this, so why you didn't see the other threads I dunno. Try refining your search terms.... there are threads on towing as far back as 2002 or so that I remember.

I've seen to HITCHES on some SC's, but tow HOOKS, as in a hook in the front bumper, then I seriously doubt they make them.

oh man i wish i had some pics. a few weeks ago i was helping a buddy install coilovers and a diff in a 92 sc300. the guy just bought it and it has a tow hook in the front. had a nice slit cut in the front bumper through which it stuck out. i liked it. definitely beats the location of the stock ones. when i got stuck in a ditch and had to be towed out the guy used the stock one. bent the chit out of it too. i had to remove and straighten it out.

i was planning to make a CAD file and cut a few on the waterjet at school. if i actually get around to it this summer ill post the file.

they also make the universal nylon tow straps. they work really well and can be hidden much easier then a hook.

I'm not sure but I'm sure you can get some universal ones or something similar.
How did it keep people from riding your a**? lol if people are getting that close to you, there are far worse issues...

thats a universal hook but you can custom make one also. pain in the butt to do ,hope you enjoy cutting up your bumper or drilling holes in it.... but reality wise you have no real use for it unless you actually track your car but even then you have a tow hook bolted to the car already...

What's wrong having a tow hook...
sometimes when you get stuck on something they can pull you from it.
And previously stated it keeps you from getting bump from other cars.
