yup a tow hook, but not for towing a trailer, rather for towing you out of the ditch when you slide off the road, when you try to drift, lol

TOW hook.

You can tow the car from there.

You could tow somebody else.

I guess you could jack it up from there if you wanted to.

why? Its a simple question from a noob. Isnt that what nico is for? getting answers? If its just a place to talk down to other people because maybe they dont know everything and anything there is about a car. Im willing to bet that there is something that you dont know.

Well you're smart enough to figure out youre a noob but you couldn't find the thread that's sticky'd to the top of this forum specifically for noobs and their questions. No you had to make an entire thread asking what a tow hitch is.

^ omfg, do you have any more pics of that car? that is insanely similar to what my plans are with a few minor differences. do you what that color is? i'm going with daytona blue, type x aero, bronze wheels, rolled and pulled fenders and clearance similar to that.
