Default Tow hooks

Hello Y'all, Ive been a member here for a while but im having some trouble posting on my computer anywhere but here. I recently bought some tow hooks for my 95 civic ex. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...black-copy.jpg
Does anyone know how to install them? I got them because my car is lowered, and I trailer it Quite often to and from the track out here in MO. It is getting real old hooking up chains under it to strap her down, but i can't find a solid looking place to mount them. Any thoughts?

Default RE: Tow hooks

should be able to find a place under the front sub-frame. Do you plan on towing with it or just as tie down points?

Possibly both tow, and tie down, but finding room is posing the problem between the intercooler, and radiator mounts.

On the front I have no room between the intercooler and the bumper. Any Suggestions?

sell the front hook and get a tow strap, bolt it to the top part of the bumper member and route the strap in a way that works for u.

i don't think i have ever seen that done before. Does it stay put and hold up to the elements? I don't suppose you would know strength? Well worth checking out though, thank you CIVICEXRACER.
