RaceSeng Tow Hook and PRL FMIC

[OneMiggle]

I’m about to install my PRL intercooler with the charge pipe upgrade this weekend but I just realized that I might not have clearance for my tow hook after this. I have the RaceSeng tow hook installed. I chose this one since it attaches to the frame to make it functional. And I’m just realizing now that it might be in the way of the pipes if I installed them.

Anyone on here have a similar setup who encountered any issues (or none) and found a workaround? Otherwise, I guess I’ll have to take my tow hook off.

Do you use the tow hook often? If not the intercooler will make your car run better. Probably worth the swap.

I take my car to the track. And at least a front tow hook is necessary to participate.

I’m gonna try the Install this weekend and see if there are actually any issues. I’ll report back in case anyone wants this information too.

Alright y’all. Thanks for patiently waiting.

Turns out, the tow hook is nowhere near the inlet pipe. So I had a ton of clearance.

Back when I installed the tow hook, I had to move the horn off to the side. So that’s actuallly what ended up bumping into the inlet pipe. But I was able to adjust to clear it from the pipe. It’s literally micrometers away from touching the pipe.

The tow hook is the one on the right. If you’re curious, the one on the left is for my license plate holder. They kinda look like little gun barrels without the parts attached. ?

I’m putting my bumper back on and the sides aren’t lining up properly. The parts closest to the side markers are way off. I can’t tell what misaligned those parts. Everything else is popping into place though. Any advice?

Edit: just needed a little force. Everything is back on nice and snug. I didn’t put the stencil on to make slightly “stealthy”. Ahaha
