Exclamation rear tow hook?

So, to make a story short last month I took side of the road because of a snow bank. Fortunately, I was lucky and had no damage done to my Fit
Had to call road assistance to winch my car out though. We had to use the little tow hook under the rear bumper...which is way too small so the winch did a little scratch on the bumper (nothing really noticeable).

So, I'm wondering if you guys could recommend a good rear tow hook that is bolt on for our GD3 Fit's? Would the rear Benen tow hook work bolt on to the Fit little hook?Thanks!

the benen rear tow hook bolts right on. the to mount the front tow hook you're going to need to drill some holes.

be careful with your tow hooks, they're as easy to steal as emblems. i wouldn't keep them on all the time but then again i live i socal. it's a thief's paradise over here

pretty much any tow hook is going to fit in the back. the front is where you run into compications a bit which you would have to drill holes. but i think its better just gettin the J's one because you just screw it in to the front as opposed to making holes. besided the screw in looks better cause then your going to have an areolla( if thats how you spell it) on your bumper for nothing make use of it lol
