I think Ed Sims has a rear tow hook that Shadowman made for him - set up for a bumper delete system. PM Ed or Shadowman.

I don't have pics but we installed our bumper delete screen and frame rails on Ed's car at Rally 2 in CA. We took an original frame, modified it for the bumper delete, welded a plate into the LR frame rail section and threaded it for a large eyelet that can be installed in case of emergency. We couldn't use the same eyelet as the front because that one is a reverse thread. On our bumper delete screen we put a hole in it similar to the front screen on the early 2005 cars. Maybe Ed can post a pic of what we did back in CA.

Ed's Hook by the GT Guys

Ed's wheels stopped spinning at SAAC 35 long enough for me to get this picture of his rear tow hook:

(Looks like a little cleaner install than the Rube Golberg job at BJ) :biggrin

Here is the most recent thread on GT tow hooks with the most recent photo of my rear tow hook. It was originally installed by the GT Guys but I had it redone (repositioned & indexed) & powder coated by Shadowman when he redid the rear screen for my high-exit exhaust.

Hmmm.....what about a hitch rack for a bike? There have been so many times that I have wanted to have both my GT present and my bicycle....either road or mountain...but cannot do it!
