Been tracking my car lately, so I need a tow hook. Didn't like how much the stock tow hook weighs and didn't like what was available on the market. So, I opened up SolidWorks and designed my own. Had it machined and anodized by shops I regularly use for work stuff. Went with 7075-T6 Aluminum for the eye and shaft and high strength steel threaded rod for the threads. I'm pretty happy with the results. This tow hook is about 40% lighter than the stock one but plenty strong. What do you think?
