Tow Hooks... Who's got em?

I want a better looking flip down style tow hook for my TTS. Anyone know where the best place to get them is? I found one online for about $50... looks like an anodized aluminum hook with a threaded stud.

Do a Google or Bing search on "images of rennline Porsche tow hook". There are pics of the hooks on various cars including some Porsche.

I have... honestly, I like the anodized colored ones the best. I've seen red, purple, white, silver, black... the one from Rennline looks kinda cheesy to me with the word "tow" on it. That's why I wanted to see one on someone's car on here, not a universal or generic pic. I do appreciate your input though.

The "Tow" on the hook is merely a sticker.

These tow hooks are designed for functionality on the track. When needed, I doubt that the tow truck operator really cares if the hook is color coordinated.
BTW Brey Krause also makes a nice hook.

It actually comes without the sticker on the hook. It's included in the package separately

The tow truck driver might not care what my car looks like, but I do. I want something aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Not some random goofy looking eye-bolt looking thing sticking out from the front of my car. This isn't a pos car here! No dig at you directly, I'm just very finicky about what goes on my car. Thanks for your input on vendors though.

Oh ok, cool. I'll look at theirs again then. Didn't know that.

The Rennline tow hook is a really nice piece and quality made. I have one on the front of my GT3RS and the nice thing is that the hook portion folds down and has 2 small rubber bumpers on the back to protect the paint. As mentioned, the sticker is separate.
