Why would you need that? Is your car not street legal. Is it being trailered to the strip???

No, I thought it might look kinda neat and it might second as a curb feeler when I lower my car in the spring......I would rather bend up a $29 dollar tow hook than crack up the still front lip......just an idea

It would be too hard to install using those bolts. Only way I can think out that would make an easy install is just to weld it on. I'll probably get one and get an exhaust shop to weld it on.

If you have a stillen lip, it will be functional. Why? I got my car towed twice and when they hooked it to the OEM tow hook which is hidden under the front bumper. The metal cable will cause the front lip to bend up and crack the paint on it.
