Whether you are stuck in the mud or you have gone off track and need to be yanked back on by the tow truck, Toyota Celica tow hooks are an item that you should not leave home without. Those of us at Andy's who run competition cars always use tow hooks both front and rear. Normally if you need to be yanked out of a ditch most tow truck drivers will hook up to a suspension piece or bumper risking cosmetic or mechanical damage. Bolting a set of Toyota Celica tow hooks to the front and rear of your vehicle will give you added security that you can get out of any jam unscathed. Aside from acting as a secure place to attach a winch or tow strap to get you unstuck, we think that tow hooks also add a nice aesthetic touch that will set your vehicle apart from the rest. Paint it to match your car or leave it contrasting to give a more aggressive look; it will turn heads either way.

In many competition events at least one tow hook is required at both the front and rear of the car. If you are planning on running an autocross, track day, or racing event be sure to check the rules carefully for this requirement. Tow hooks do not add much weight to your car but when mounted properly can support the weight of the car even while being towed up steep hills. If you only want to run your Toyota Celica tow hooks during competition, simply undo a few bolts and your car will be returned to its stock look. When you are ready to race again, reattach the hook with the same bolts and you are all ready to go.

Q: How do I install a tow hook on my vehicle?
A: Universal tow hooks can either be bolted onto existing metal tow loops already installed on your vehicle from the factory (such as on most Honda and Acura vehicles), or can be custom-mounted by making a custom bracket or drilling a couple of holes in your frame.

Q: What is a tow hook? Why buy one?
A: Tow hooks are add-on components used for vehicle recovery. They are used in all facets of the automotive world from road racing to off road use. Tow hooks provide a convenient and secure place to attach a tow rope or tow cable so that if you suffer a break down or find yourself stuck you can easily be pulled out of harm’s way without damaging the outside of your ride. From a safety stand point tow hooks are extremely valuable, however they are also one of the simplest and most affordable modifications you can make to your vehicle. Tow hooks also add a great aesthetic touch to any ride. With their distinctive utilitarian look they add an aggressive touch that will set your vehicle apart from the rest, and grab attention wherever you go.
