    Hi All,

    With our ever increasing manufacturing & engineering capabilities, Fabspeed has decided to introduce a sleek, billet folding tow hook to it's product line up. These hooks are CNC machined from aircraft grade 7076-T6 Aluminum, which is as strong as certain steels, but less than half the weight. They are then coated with a Type II anodizing for good looks and corrosion protection. We finish the assembly off with teflon washers and stainless steel hardware. The washers are installed to prevent scratches between the parts as the hook is moved through it's range of motion, a small detail I have yet to see on a competitors hook. Lastly, these tow hooks also incorporate a mounting location for our up coming billet Go Pro mounts (not yet available).

    While other companies are using lesser strength 6061 or heavy steels, we performed some FEA (finite element analysis) and came to the conclusion that 6061 is not up to the task of the FIA's requirements for pulling a car out of a sand trap.

    These hooks will fit front & rear of the 360 Challenge cars, front of the 430, and front of the 458 (non challenge). We also have the same style hooks that fit the 348 & 355 front. Lastly, we also have a retractable rear tow hook for the 348 & 355 rear.

    For those interested in purchasing, please contact one of the Fabspeed Performance Specialists.

    Here are a few installed pics to show off these hooks:
