If you are road coursing your car they request these hooks. Then make the comment if you don't have them and go off track, good luck, hope the recovery truck hooks to something solid if you go off course
If you race long enough you'll find a use for them.

I had no idea that's what those hooks I see on cars were for. Thanks.

I'll help. Here is ZL1's S550 PP front and rear hooks on my GT Premium w/ PP. Front hook required very minor dremmel work to slightly open up an existing grill hex, because we went with a slightly larger diameter shaft. You can't tell it was modified at all when the hook is out. You'd have to ask which shaft they're using by default these days.

if you get the rear hook, it obviously does require cutting the bumper, but the hole is entirely hidden by the rear plate when not installed.





Thanks for the pics. That helps a lot!:thumbsup:

What are the chances this location is also where the ecoboost grille has an opening (or even one that's blocked off and can be opened up)?

How about a link for just the rear one? I already have a front hook.

Send a pic of your grill, we have the receiver for the 6th gen Mustang also and that should fit.

i got sent here by someone else on another board. just went through a heavy snowfall and watched someone else's mustang get towed out of the ditch by using a tow strap threaded through the spokes of one of the rear wheels. needless to say black performance pack wheel+dirty tow strap=major cosmetic damage because no tow hook :(

how strong is this thing? would it be enough to pull a s550 out of a ditch, or is it just sufficient for track use?

i can't see well from the angle of the pictures, but does the front tow ring come into contact with the bumper?

The mounting bracket is attached to the inner metal bumper, but the hook doesn't 'touch' anything. the parts are all petty stout, so as long as the welds are good, it should be pretty strong.
