Tow Hook 4 the Sonic

[TIEfighter]

I was wondering if there are any aftermarket tow hooks out for the Sonic. I see them installed on other cars, most of the time imports. They look cool in my opinion and add some character to the car. Anybody know if there are any available currently for the Sonic? Here is an example of what I'm talking about on a Honda Jazz (Fit).

I've never seen one on those on a car in my life. What would you tow with that?

You wouldnt tow with it. It is more for towing your car out of a ditch or something like that.

it is just for looks and they are mostly on Hondas/Acuras. people that have them generally hang toys or other things as decoration. i really havnt seen them on any other type of car. I bet they can be altered to fit..some how because i have seen "universal" sets being sold.

They just bolt to the factory tow point in the rear. The Sonic's is in kind of a weird spot so I'm not sure buying a generic one will work for you. The real point of the hooks like that is for track cars and they are usually hard mounted and not just bolted to a tiny factory tow point.

yeah just for looks. i bet with some modding it can be done...but why would be the question...lol! i think they serve no purpose. yes i adds more of a track/import tuner type of look to the car, but other than that have no functionality. (not bashing your idea)

I want so I know when backing up I got too close too another car.

I know that they aren't for actual towing. Though I think they look cool from an aesthetic standpoint. I've seen them on the rear and/or front bumpers of cars. Wouldn't the front one be where that tiny square is in the front bumper? Have no clue where the rear one would go.

I had one on my 93 civic hatch and a angry bird hanging off it. And once I had my car towed and they used it I thought it was gonna break but it didn't. I would buy them if they made them for this car.

Most European spec vehicles have a receptacle behind a small cover in the bumpers to thread in a supplied tow eye for the purpose of vehicle recovery.

That's just silly.

So basically it's announcing the fact that you may need to get towed out of a ditch because you're a crappy driver.

This x a million

And this x a million also.

All the cool ricers have these on their cars.

For everyone thats hating on this idea, I live in Michigan on some pretty rural backroads. My road doesnt usually get plowed for days after a snowstorm and when Im coming home from work after one of those you just have to hammer down and go for it in 2ft tall snow and hope you make it. When you dont its a pain to find a spot to hook to to pull yourself out without ripping the car apart.

I think its an awesome idea as long as its functional. For the people that just want it for the looks you might as well tape it on there...

Heres the only picture I could find but I swear I seen one on here with the strap sticking out the grill too.
