Gotch ya, I thought thats what it was but didn't know why you'd have it installed. Once again, Its nice to see a G37 without the traditional black wheels that a lot of guys run. Beautiful car. Nice stance. Great job.

Since you have it maybe you can answer something for me that I have always wondered: WTF is up with the tow hooks???

Maybe you can explain its appeal. I have one. But it's in the trunk where it will very likely stay for the life of my car unless i need it then I'll screw it in the hole. Why do some import guys wear it every day?

I personally have never seen one installed. Interesting that you have. Maybe someone knows.

a lot of people have it because they dont have the protection of a front plate/plate mount so if idiots back into their front bumper when paralleling they hit the towhook which would damage the offenders car

Tow hooks are "run" for a variety of reasons. As homelessdrunk mentioned, some use it for protection. It has saved my front bumper on one occasion already. I was 3rd in line in the center lane at a signal. The lady in front of me decides to back up to give herself room to change into the right lane. In doing so, she taps my tow hook (slowly, but hard...if that makes sense). As she drove away I laughed at the dent that was dead center on her rear bumper. The tow hook saved my front bumper there. It has also saved me from two no front plate tickets. I told the officer that I was recently towed and showed him that I had the plate and bracket in my trunk waiting to be "re-installed." He told me to put it back on as soon as I got home and let me go. Others sport it for the "tuner" look.
