I'm about to go out and buy some toast hooks that I'm going to bolt on my sub frame where would you guys recommend putting these tow points. I was thinking for the front drilling one extra hole and mounting it with the bumper connects to the subframe because there's already holes in the plastic. I need suggestions for the rear.

You're gonna need some good brackets to mount them to. The "frame" is just too thin to mount a tow hook directly on the side or bottom. Some came with then from the factory and many companies sell them and they're usually made into the bumper mounts.

For the rear, do you have a trailer hitch?

You can see the bumper mounting bracket (the rusty square part) above the tow hook with a brace (black part) sandwiched between.

My daily routine takes me past a few yards. I always pop in and see whats new every couple of days. I'll keep my eyes open for some more but it took a while to find the ones I have.
