Hooked...(kind-a unrelated)

I have a friend that popped his engine(not a Mini) and he took one of the old engine connecting rods an made a tow hook from it. He had it chromed too!

I purchased and installed a set of the ebay ones mentioned earlier in this thread. They appear to be a very nice piece.( read strong!) They have a steel insert and an Almuminum ring. They are adjustable. They look real nice on my Red car. I tie mine down in the toy hauler so I needed these. I am gonna leave them on all the time.

well two months later im finally posting a pic of my towhook. It was red, i sanded it down primed,painted and cleared with the left over paint from my calibers.

I still need to get the towhook cover drilled, i purchased a pre-primed one but for the life of me i cannot get the paint to stick/come out glossy like it should. Ill figure out what going on but in the mean time here she is

Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Does the tow hook wiggle around and scratch the paint on the front or rear bumber?
