Front tow hook (strap) solution for 2020+, no bumper modification required

[pwrofdrm]

I needed a front tow point but wasn’t too keen on the idea of hacking up the front bumper garnish to make it work. After some research I came up with a solution, so thought I’d share for anyone else with a 2020 with this need.

I ordered the EVS Tuning Front Tow Hook Adapter from Evasive Motorsports. $195

I ordered a tow strap, there are many many options on the market from multiple sources. Just make sure you get a ‘real’ one that’s actually rated for towing and not one built for aesthetic purposes. I purchased a Grayston brand one, but Sabelt makes a nice one too. $15-$25

I then got a bolt to fasten the tow strap to the tow hook adapter from Belmetric. SKU no. Is BH22X50FYLW, 50mm Length. $7.36

With that, I was able to attach the tow hook adapter and tow strap and then snake the tow strap through the slotted opening in the factory garnish.

That’s interesting, I hadn’t seen that. The bracket looks a little dinky and I’d hate to remove the bumper for installation. I can confirm my setup works with Honda Sensing 100%. But that solution is way cheaper.

Wow, I was looking for a solution that mounted on the passenger side (because of honda sensing) and required no modification. This is perfect! Already ordered mine =)

Thank you

have you gotten towed with that set up yet? wondering if itll damage anything if theres upwards force while being towed

thanks for this

Does the wunderladen part only work on the driver's side?

If so, you would have to cut the grill garnish to pass through, because USDM cars only have a hole on the passenger side.

No, thankfully, but that is something I thought of and I did check to make sure that wouldn’t be the case. Couldn’t replicate a situation where it could be.
