Default How do I get the front tow hook to stay in and not pop out all the time?
I have the big brakes, and I like to use them. But stopping fast causes the tow hook to unclip from the bumper and stick out. I'm constantly walking over and popping it back on again. Any ideas on how to get it to stay in?

It has a clip on the rod part that clips to the grill in the bumper.

Default I have an Apikol FMIC and still kept the front tow hook.
Wasn't easy but it was done.
