Tow hook that clears FMIC

[rainmaker]

anybody install one of these yet on their boosted 15-16? Watson says its a carryover part and works great on the 15-16 cars:

I didn't want to cut my front bumper cover but I need to have a hook this year incase of any breakage at the track.

I decided to be a guiney pig. Aesthetically the FR ring is pretty big and comes painted in BMR Red (I might paint it black so its more subdued). Functionality was more important to me then looks, and now I can easily tow / winch the car if I need to...

How did you figure out where to cut? Does it come with a template?

No template. I installed it and took some rough measurements and then did trial fit ----> enlarge -----> trial fit -----> enlarge, etc. I could take some measurements if you end up buying one.

I use it all the time to winch my car on my trailer. Also came in handy when I blew up 2nd gear at the track

Measurements would be awesome if you can. Ironically I really want it to create more surface area infront my SC heat exchange (with the tubular design taking up less area). And having a function tow hook is a plus.

Zl1 makes one that goes through the grill and no cutting is required.

Du sol designs makes one. Perfect fit. But pricey.

I have been towed onto a steep tow truck twice with it already no issues.

Lol. I just found it on Bing.com. I seen that hook on trackmustangsonline before.

Yep. Works well with whipple intercooler and dual fans.

I can confirm that the ZL1 Addons doesn't work with a Fmic. You could probably force it to by putting it behind the IC bracket but you'd have to space the other side to match and even then it may be too close to the Radiator.

i need one of these.

I have a Duosold Tow hook available if someone wants to buy it with a discount - it WILL NOT work with a Vortech / Paxton FMIC. The Ford racing hook works well for the boosted crowd.

I need to measure from PP lip or some other repeatable reference point when I have my front end off in a few weeks but this gives you a rough idea to tape up a template and see if it looks right.
