id say black, but whats up with everyone and the tow hooks? do they actually serve a purpose or is it just for show? if they add hp im gonna have to grab me one haha

yubier · 12-05-2008, 01:02 AM

Nah, but it gets all the inconsiderate a$$es off my bumper in Brooklyn

Orange haha, I know it's not one of your options, but I like orange. Clean fa5.

Tow hooks give you downforce depending on where you mount it. Front tow hook = downforce on the front wheels while accelerating. Rear tow hook = downforce to prevent the rear from lifting up while braking.

Get a GREEN tow hook.

glad to see i'm not alone on that one.

Topplayer · 12-05-2008, 01:23 AM

Black or Red. Any other color is lame

maybe even the tow hook is lame?

A-2-B · 12-05-2008, 01:32 AM

the tow hook isn't completly lame. in his case. it will protect his rear bumper from people getting to close. and they will hit his tow hook before his car. so maybe they will stop backing up or w.e so i understand that.

hmm are u serious with this statemnt...is the tow hook reach that far to prevent that kind of stuff. I always end up messing up when im backing out

A-2-B · 12-05-2008, 02:02 AM

some tow hooks i think are. i've never seen one in person. only in pictures. so the pictures could have made the tow hook seem to stick out further. so i could be wrong. but in theory it sounds somewhat accurate right? if the tow hook were to stick out a little bit farther than the actual bumper. i could see it working.

Maybe you could mount this on your towhook

1chin3s3_b0i · 12-05-2008, 03:36 AM

black

09DynoBlu4DSi · 12-05-2008, 03:41 AM

Id say get a black or red Datum 1, I got blue

xheartcore_boyx · 12-05-2008, 03:52 AM

Black, it looks ridiculous, but if you really want the down force that OMGWTFBBQIMDEREK mentioned, get it in black.

Looks like the poll has been added.

yubier · 12-05-2008, 11:07 AM

They do stick out that little bit, that prevents me having a "brooklyn bumper"

again, nothing to do with performance or rice look, it is only to prevent the brooklyn population from scratching my bumper when paralal parking and bumping me.

So come on guys, what color would fit best with my car????
