Tow Hooks: Dumb? Cool? Indifferent?
tow hooks. see em on some cars, not on others.
are they too "ricer"? seems like quite a few minis have them. they kind of remind me of a nose piercing; looks good on some people, but always reminds me of a shiny pimple...
if i did put one on, it would prolly never get "used" as a tow hook; but would rather be just something to "look at" i guess.
so, whats your vote? Cool! or dumb

People really need to stop using this term for everything. The stock tow hook is doing the job it's supposed to, but it's not good looking.
As for the damage discussion, if you hit hard enough to bend the font support where the tow hook is, chances are that it won't matter that much as the whole front end will be messed up from the impact.
For someone who's doing a lot of track, it can be useful to have it all the time and not having to worry to get it out, then install it. A nice looking and functionnal tow hook is a decent exterior mod. I'm more a function over style type of person, so I wouldn't put one just for the look if I never take the car to the track, BUT, I won't mind it.
