JDM front & rear crash beams

So I got this yesterday and would like to know my options as far as tow hook is concerned. Only thing I have seen that might fit are the hks orange or chrome kansai hooks

We installed the front just not the rear as I have other projects going for it. Everything goes back like it did before all the provisions for the horn and clips not 1 clip lost its hole. Not sure who told u it won't fit but I can recall as far back as 08 I have seen people use this.

fits fine, just need to buy the air guides for this crash beam and all done or modify your current air guides, which is what i am going to do.

The rear looks pretty light, think that there is no point in wasting money to purchase extra JDM bars ,weight savings are marginal
R4 support bar looks cool
