I think it looks out of place on a TL. Wrong car for it IMO.

I really want to get one for my car. And the blue matches your scheme with the blue lugs.

Have you looked at a J's Racing Toe Hook? I think they look good for the front


I think that they look good and since its a hanging setup it doesn't stick out as far

looks good maybe the car needs to be lower a bit more to get the full effect I'd keep it...!!!

It's pretty cool. I think you should place it elsewhere though.

BTW, your car is pretty clean.

i had the tow hooks on my 92 Hatch and i think it just makes the car stand out a lot bc not a lot of people have them on an TL. i dont know if i would cut the suspension maybe get some shorter springs than the ones that are on the teins..?

i think it looks out of place b/c your car looks too stock. it looks much better on that tsx-accord b/c it flows with the entire car. i hope that makes sense.

Post pictures if you do cut it. It it doesn't stick out too far I might just go for a benen hook. Oh and have you tried putting the hook on the middle lower grill? I like the offcenter look but I can't put mine where your's is because of my fogs

is there anyway you could make it stick out a little less? even about an inch would be good.. looks too far out. and i think it would look perfect at the very end of the middle grille cut-out..

Thats makes sense bc the tsx-accord looks like a sick ride... if you would go a little more lower and like some one else said the side skirts it would probably make the tow hook flow more with the theme of the car...maybe a whole lip kit!

It doesn't look too bad. Definitely go with putting it more toward the middle.

That has got to be the best looking TSX I have ever seen. Clean and not overdone.
