Okay I finished the Frenched in tow hook insert, I'm very happy with the way it turned out but it's been getting mixed reviews with the local's here in Akron....of course some are Brand X guys. So I will probally regret this but I am looking for some Honest opinions on adding the Tow hook before I cut out the bumper and flush weld it in, also should it be closer to the lights or kicked out toward the passenger side more. Again looking for Honest opinions here....I know some of the frequent visitors have no problem giving there true thoughts. Thanks....I think

And NO I don't plan on breaking down alot...thats not the purpose of adding it, It's to show creativity and add to the customization of the overall build.

You know I love your car, the build, the process etc so I'll give it to you straight-

The tow hook insert looks great. But I do not think it belongs on your car. Not because it is "an import thing" or "unnecessary."" I think it takes away from the lights, which are already a pretty flashy bumper detail. I think adding it is just too much of a good thing.

You don't need to worry about showing off customization skill, the car is full of it. Remember to look at some stocker pictures once in a while. I forget that certain things I have done were mods all the time- but I betcha people going to shows that walk by line after line of stock restorations will notice!
