Tow Hook Options vs Experience

[sprite]

IPSCO is great quality and a fair price IMO. I've ordered both front/rear hooks from them as well as the gas pedal extension and both were shipped out super quickly.

I removed the IPSCO front hook because it blocks air to the radiator and added the one in the first photo. Not sure where the rear on is from.

Did you see any change in temps?

Did you see any change in temps?

Yes I did.

Well i did a few things at once, moved the tow hook, went to 70/30 water/coolant, and went to a 27-29 psi radiator cap, and between all of those the temps seemed to lower.

I run two IPSCO front tow hooks and the temps on track with my ACR are fine (about 220) My TA 2.0 would run 243 with or without the hook. IPSCO also makes a fold down and removable front tow hook now. The rear triangular base tow hook is as strong as any tow hook can be. It mounts directly to the frame. IPSCO stuff is first rate. I've been to the IPSCO shop and can tell you he puts a lot of attention to detail into every product.

Is everything black or are parts of it still silver? Would love a pic if you don’t mind.

Took a while, but here it is (somehow the flash made the black look purple, but it is totally black):

Resurrecting an old thread. Just checking to see if there are any further updates from those who have the front/rear tow hooks installed?
Is IPSCO the way to go on a 2017 ACR/E? (street, trailer loading, some track)

Looks good works good. Only have the front on mine in case of breakdown.

This is the rear tow

[SSGNRDZ_28]

Rear IPSCO tow hook is the only way for the ACR-E in my opinion. Great investment.

This is the rear tow

Anyone know how much that weighs?

[sharmut]

TKO Motorsports makes a rear tow hook that appears lighter but requires cutting a slot in the diffuser.

Here we are, almost a year later and I still gotta pull the trigger on these. (busy. forgot. I've got no good excuses.)
Sounds like IPSCO is the way to go for the front ......but their site says the rear tow hook assembly is discontinued

Anyone know of more recent developments/options?

This is showing in stock. And you also have the TKO option.

PartsRack has IPSCO in stock.... "If It Fits On Or In a VIPER......."

I guess I should post since I'm the OP,
I went with the IPSCO hooks for the rear, but I made my own front tow hook...

I wasn't happy with the positioning of the hooks on the market, so I just made my own which blocks the air opening and radiator in a minimal way, especially compared to others. Winched onto the trailer a dozen times so far and no issues.
