For previous cars I've just bought a second OEM tow hook, then invested the savings into stuff that matters like tires. Haven't picked one up yet for the M2, but will.

For something a bit more aesthetically pleasing, plastidip the loop and look just like all the cool kids with brightly colored, over priced tow hooks (that are likely to break on the first tug from the safety crew)...

Though if going with aftermarket then look at Rennline. They're solid, don't break, and are a great company.

Wishful thinking....I was racing at AMP when someone puked an engine in front of me...hit the oil and learned about "the hand of god" that tosses you and your car wherever it wants

I just ordered a set a few days ago. I'll post pics and thoughts when they arrive.

Edit: Photo added.

Note: Fitment is good for the front but too short for the rear. Asked Turner if they have one with a longer stud to exchange.
