I won't charge you, lol
It'd be worth it to me if you did, Tom but if you'll recall, you had to twist my arm and, I believe you're the same person who wanted fifteen. :-)

If I can't bust your chops, then I guess I ought to hang it up here. It would be my pleasure. Drill the hole exactly where you want it and send it to me.

Not to worry my friend, the old man's skin is as thick as shoe leather so bring it on. <grinning> Besides, I was busting YOUR chops. <laughing now>

I'll do my best with the drilling then send her your way soon thereafter and, thanks again, Tom.

If you would be so kind I would love to have you paint one for me too, just ordered a second cover for my car, I had already ordered the ZL1 hook as I did front and rear hooks. I am terrible at paint.

Of course happy to pay you for your time, or at least let me buy you some beverages.

Yes, I'd do this for any member who I know and recognize. I draw the line at the "me too's" of the people who I've never heard of, and of course until the paint runs out. I am running low. So you and Kent are in. When you have the part, PM me.

I received my tow hook Yesterday. Nice quality and finish. I went with a black hook. It would be nice if the actual hooks aren't so much money. I would like to have a red one for track days. The red they offer would not go with the red on my car.

Quite a coincidence, Tom...my black one is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Thanks for the pic in advance and I agree, that's a chunk of change but, whatcha gonna do, right? I was thinking about having it painted RR.

A quick job of colorizing...

now there is an idea.

Race red requires a base coat under it, almost white, to make it pop. I wonder what the process is for rapid red.

I would leave the shaft black.

Hmmm....leave the shaft black so it's less visible through the plastic door, excellent idea. But I was talking about Rapid (since we both have it,) not Race. In any event, I'm quite sure my body shop can match it near perfectly, they've never let me down, yet.

The thing is, do we want to have a spot of red on that bumper or try to hide the hook among the black?

Yes, I know. The point I was trying to make is a lot of these colors require a base under the color coat so that the paint radiates correctly. I know race red does, because I have painted that color before. Rapid red? I don't know. I will ask the body shop. I may ask them to paint the hook for me.

Rapid red is 3 stage color, you are going to get close but not exact match. Just FYI.

Thats what I figured.

Close on a tow hook is good enough.
