If you want to give your car a sportier, almost competition-like look, you can install a tow strap. This is essentially a towing strap, typical of competition cars, as it provides a quick and ready point of attachment for towing them off the race track in case of breakdown or accident.

Install it at the location of the standard towing hook, in the designated hole in the front bumper, and secure it with a pin in the same threaded hole. You may need to slightly enlarge the hole and remove the bumper for a more secure fitting.
