The bracket and tow hook are sold separate, correct? Looking at photos of the USR tow hook itself, I would like to install a different hook for the USR one sticks out SO far I'd definitely hit a knee cap on it. Would like a swivel joint one instead.

You can buy it without the actual hook and it gives you the option to add it.. Think it is same as a wrx thread. But, message them to be sure.

Those of you with the EVS front tow hook adapter, can you recommend a front license plate mounting solution? Could you confirm that the thread pitch matches the Nissan GTR tow hook thread pitch?

Go back to evasive’s website very soon. They just developed the the Front License Plate Holder to attach to the tow hook adapter.

I ordered a front bumper tow hook license plate bracket from ebay. I contacted the seller and they confirmed that it is 22x2.5 Thread pitch, which is what the adapter uses. I'll keep posted whether it actually works. Gonna keep an eye out on that EVS front license plate mount as well!

I think I found what you mentioned, apparently you need the Cusco tow hook to use the license plate relocator. I hope that's not true and I'm just reading it wrong. I don't want to have to pay $400 total for a front license plate. But I guess I'll have a tow hook for track days as well, so there's thatGo back to evasive’s website very soon.

I noticed that too. Is anyone here currently running that setup? I'm curious why it would require the Cusco tow hook to use the plate relocator.

The EVS plate relocation re-uses the long portion of the Cusco tow hook. Basically the long aluminum portion of it threads into their adapter, undo the jam nut and the red tow ring comes out. Their plate adapter then goes directly into where the red tow ring was previously. That thread on the Cusco tow hook receiver is M16x2.00.

Not really anything on the forum regarding rear tow strap installs. Especially on the FC3 so I figured i’d drop it here for anyone else who might need future reference. Since its an FK8 thread i figured i should at least have it cameo in the pic
1.) cut out rear vent using a razor blade
2.) took off the rear bumper
3.) drilled a hole into the crash bar
4.) installed tow strap
5.) reinstalled everything and wallaaaaah!

Has anyone with a 2020 been able to get their front vents to pop out? I've got a tow strap coming in id like to install. I know the 2019s had a push tab behind the vent you could push out im pressing on something similar but its not moving at all.

Installed my Raceseng tow strap I had sitting around for a while. Installed it into the crash bar by drilling a hole upwards, so the force would be pulling straight out. Hopefully I never need to use it but sometimes I have way too much fun on the track.
