Question Rear Tow Hook....Rice?

I am thinking about getting a black Benen rear tow hook. The question is, on a car that will never see the track, it it complete rice?

I think it looks good on some cars and rice on others. I voted for rice just because I mostly see shitty cars with them on. But if its subtle and compliments the car well then they do look pretty sweet. I say go for it.

No track! Your poor car

hehe, I voted rice... all show! Even with a car for the track you can just screw in the tow hooks that come with it!

For the price those tow hooks usually sell for, you could get some better parts, more functional.
Getting a part for a car that won't realistically be used (i.e. on the track) is the definitely of Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements...
I voted Rice.

Don't be sorry. I was asking for input and it seems to be pretty one-sided.

i personally wouldn't do a rear since it already has one,
but i would do a t1r front tow hook, track or no track.

not completely rice,to me rice is a little more extreme, like useless HID's or 5 different sway bars and a roll cage.

I had one on my Crx but it was used for holding my bumper up in place. So it had a purpose.

i don't think it is ricey. it saved my friend for a hit and run. he had one on his front bumper. someone reversed into him. i think he said it was an older model accord. hit him pretty hard, burned out, tried to run away, went bout 60 yards then stop. my friends tow hook grabbed his rear bumper ripped it off and had his license plate. i would use it for that reason. LOL
