i have often wondered why you dont see tow hooks on GT's, it wasnt until i bought one without checking i realised why, the brackets up the wrong way, but after some modification of the old one i managed to mount my new one on it, dunno how sturdy it would actualy be, but was only intended to be cosmetic anyway, but getting to the point heres a pic to be show it can be done and realtivley easily :)

looks well man, must get one of these for my gt :) What involved making it fit right way ??
sweet looking starlet btw :)
well firstly its easier if you can get the existing towing eye off to work on but mines well and truly stuck on so i had to do it under the car, but basicaly get your tow hook, put it where you want it against the old one, mark where the holes are and drill them out, and bolt it on, mine came with a sandwhich plate:) just make sure you start with a small drill bit and work your way up, dont go for the big'un straight away ;) and thanks mate :D

haha yeah that would sting a bit, ive definatley noticed people dont get so far up my arse in traffic now though, i was guna go for the straps but ive always prefered the hooks personaly :) and nah its 205 black but its just shit iphone pic quality mate:)

why would you want a tow hook on a starlet lol? am i missing somthing
well i hate to state the obvious but in theory to tow it? but as i said mines cosmetic, i just like the way it looks, seemed like a good enough reason to me ;)

I've got one on mine. It's not orange anymore, but white to match the car.

Pics were taken in the winter after the roads were salted so the car is super dirty

you just bolt it to the standard tow hook which is already on the car, no need for removing or drilling, i fitted mine no probs.
