The problem with our cars is trying to tow one with a strap without damaging the bumper cover and other plastic areas. If you break down at the track they need a hook up point to remove your car and if there's not an accessible one, they hook up where ever they can, and it could get ugly. Or if you need towed a few blocks home this works well too. I looked over many types of tow hook configurations and settled on a non-intrusive strapped tow hook up point by "Sick Speed. Previously I had a aluminum Bendan eyelet type mounted and it proved to be a real shin catcher. One to may ouches and Gd's and off it came. So after an exhaustive search from Porches, Mercedes, Lambo's, etc. I found this strap set up. It is anchored with a 3/4" bolt and metal clevis. So does it not only no longer catch my shin I believe it will actually perform very well and it looks damn good to boot.

Sorry for all the bugs etc., was out running around the previous evening.




Next I felt my Monte's rear end was kind of bland and not anything to refined. So after looking at other cars I felt it was missing engine related information. A little something for the guy behind you to ponder as he sits bored in traffic. So ended up applying the Cobalt Turbocharged emblem and what I believe is a classy Cadillac V6 emblem. Thought this combination added just the right touch to her hiney.

 

I was just going to ask about that in your window thread too; looks pretty damn :pimp:...

 

Looks great, Greg! Just another reason for me to be jealous

 

I'm definitely waiting in that jealously line as well! haha
Looks Awesome Greg!

 

 

Greg:

Killer Job/Idea for a "Tow Point".. Emblem addition...
Well Done!!!! Put me at the end of the "Jealousy" line also.


Heres what came to mind the instant I Read Tow Point!

 

I like the tow point too Does it flap around in the wind?

 

Hi `Justin,
I don't think anyone has been able to get in front of `Greg's Turbo Monte to see `if it's flapping > LOL...
They just get to see his "Rear `End" & new badges > LOL

 

Looks good, I think we are all jealous.

 

I bet it does to some extent, it can be tucked away and out of sight behind the grille if one chooses to. I like it out, adds to the race car effect that the car embraces. Thanks everyone for the positive input. Was torn about how to insure the Monte was capable of being towed without damaging the body kit. Glad to know you did not think I damaged the appearance of the car.

These Benen Tow hooks jutting out from the front and rear bumper fascia like they did almost looked like a key to wind up the car, lol. So anyone else considering some type of towing arrangement might consider this high quality strap as a possible soultion. Thanks for all the positive vibes my friends.

Benen Tow Hooks, removed them, not functional, always striking them when working on car, OUCH and were a royal Pitb!



Sickspeed tow strap off of eBay did the trick for me.
