EVS Tow Hooks Review

[scuderia_miso]

That looks nice but will it tear up the grill if you get pulled out of a bad situation with it?

It has room to move side to side a couple inches without issue. Might tear up the grill though, only one way to find out!

Let’s hope you never have to find out ?

So I purchased the EVS tow hooks from Evasive and while it is true you do not have to drill holes into the bumper ?? you do have to cut a piece of the plastic bumper bar behind the bumper and trim the brake duct in order to fit the front bumper tow hook. Oh, and remove the headlight in order to get the long screws in. Other than that it is a real solid tow hook capable of doing its job.

For the rear tow hook. You are supposed to just remove the rear bumper tow hook cap and screw in the tow hook but in my opinion it is a pretty big piece and it looks like crap leaving all of that space uncovered. So I went ahead and purchased that plastic piece(picture of the part number below), measured and drilled the hole. You can always cut yours without buying one but it was cheap($20) and you can always unscrew the tow hook and put the cover back.

End result, they look really nice and are the real deal.

@TW00Si here is the part number for the cover

Does anyone know what the thread pitch size is on the FL5 EVS Tow hook? Anyone have one and a caliper tool to measure it and verify? It appears to be a smaller diameter than M18.

is is but I want to remove the strap when not in use and this would not really allow it unless you make a bigger hole.

Also the M&M rear strap does not fit the US car, interesting that the JDM model has a different real tow hook mounting point.

The tow hook options for this platform are laughable

EVS Tow hook - same as fk8, too short and has some fitment issues

M&M - won't fit US car

ZL1Addons - I bought this to try and on paper sounds like it would work great but what I got the fitment was garbage, after installing it the hook could be moved from side to side. I think the thread pitch was wrong. The customer service for AL1Addons is also crap.

and that is it, nothing else available. I think I will wait for now, almost bought the EVS but I don't think I will be happy with it.

You are a better artist than me ? messed up the first hole, not noticeable unless you get close and look ?
