What's the point of it? Unless you get stuck often, I see no point of having one. I'm bad mouthing these since there's no reason to have it on your car unless you're stuck. It looks extremely out of place, especially having one on one side and nothing on the other.
Whether it looks great or not is up to each one of us - thanks for your opinion.

As for the "point of it", we could bash each other all day long on the point of pretty much any modification anyone does to the stock Yaris car.

You and MadMax are both being asses with respect to the original question "which one should I get?"

Really? This includes me?

I guess I should of said something along the lines of, "what you can't afford a better mod?" like rockland huh. Fact is, if it looks out of place/stupid then people with opinions can post that. As for the original question, which one should I get? The answer is none.

Heck, I always have my nst hook in, not only do I think it looks good, but I work downtown five days a week. I always park on a meter and its a known fact, 9 out of 10 people don't know how to parallel park. I bought mine the day after I got backed into and the guy lied to my face after I saw him do it. Now, anytime someone backs into me they get a pretty red hole in their bumper from the spray paint. Ha. Try to deny that.

Haha, you can stick to getting your rainbow of tow hooks for your awesome and 'rare' liftback. No one was a douche to the original poster. Everyone that made a negative comment was directed at their taste of tow hooks, not the poster or his car.

You guys are freaking hilarious.

Since no one was a douche to the original poster, I'd like to break the ice.
- A 'Witch Tow Hook' is usually made out of magical materials such as Eye of Newt or Knuckle Bone of Dragon.
- A 'Which Tow Hook' is usually made from sugar and spice and everything nice ... and sometimes metal too.

I must say it was very difficult to see the actual nature of the question with all the testosterone flying around. I hope this answered your question Rnankoo.

Agreed if it serves no purpose its a waste of money and time to install it, take the money and put it into something that will make the daily commute more fun. Plus lots of people that know what it is will probably think its lame, and those who don't will be like why dose this kids car have a piercing, but hey its your money waste it how you want.

All opinions. Many cars come with tow hooks from the factory.

It can also be an essential part for tracking; for wrecks or to not waste your fuel. You can also use it to "tie your vehicle down" on a trailer, etc. Or simply.. yes.. to tow your car.

Plus they can look pretty damn cool, in my opinion. (and obviously the OP's as well.)

I only vote for the NST towhook as it would function better than the Micro Image one. If you're going strictly for looks, I personally like the nose-ring style one better.

Guys, let's pick something other than freakin' tow hooks to fight over. LOL.

So true , I used mine to have my car winched onto the flatbed also used it as a tie down point on said tow truck - Bottom line is the NST tow hook saved my front kit that day making well worth the 40 bucks I spent on it Imo (group-buy)

Its your car do what ever modd you want to it , but fyi the Nst is a real tow hook and the microimage is just for looks(I broke mine )

Like to know when stock translated to shit. You wanna talk about no balls. I'm only a drive away and I would love to see you in person and see how much balls you and your little rainbow liftback have. By your replies, I can tell you take more pride in your half ass modded car than yourself. Fact is, your a little pussy faggot and have already been banned from here at least once. If you wanna talk shit over the internet, I'd be more than happy to invite you to do it in person. I'd love to come to one of your faggy meets and smash you in front of a crowd.

The dude is a little bitch, he has been starting shit with people for how long and banned how many times. Fact is, he talks big over the internet and gets a hard on cause he put some generic mods on his car, followed by him getting a softie and bleeding all over his tampon when someone says they don't like the mod he has on his shitbox.

Well, seeing how this has gone horribly off topic; where can I get one of those Kermit the Frog things to hang from the back of my car?
