Is that the right OEM tow hook part number? A subaru parts site says it should be 57805FG000 not 57805AG00A ?

 

I think they are all universal but for some reason subaru probably gives each model their own part number.

The one I linked is the exact one I am using.

 

Got my 2 3/4" D Shackles installed. Bought a spare oem tow hook so i can mount them front and rear. I think it looks great and adds a nice toughness. What you think?

Did you read the reviews? People are complaining about the red fading.

 

yeah the red does fade a tiny bit. But this is the best price ive seen for 2 shackles.

nothing a little can of paint couldnt fix if it really annoyed me.

 

The OE tow hitch on my MY18 blocks the rear tow hook hole. In fact a rear internal bumper member is swapped out and there is no rear tow hook threaded hole when the OE tow hitch is installed.

 

Raceseng tow hooks are killer!!!

Is there a procedure for making the hole for getting the hook to pass through the cover like that or did you buy a predrilled cover? Looks super clean.

You've lived with this for a while now. Still like the setup? Did you have to do anything special to make sure the tow hook/ shackle lined up the right way when it was tightened down? I've seen some online videos of guys doing the same thing but theirs ends up at a weird angle.

 

To each his own if coolness is what you are after go for it!!!!!
I can put the eye on in a couple minutes and I have a nylon tow strap. I have an '18 Forester so I can but front and rear's on if needed.

 

I used to have the Raceseng tow hooks. Extremely well made, but after a while I took them off. They just looked too delicate.

Not to mention that I'd look at the front of the car and be reminded of wrestler Capt. Lou Albano (RIP), who used to wear a safety pin with a rubber band on his cheek.

 

While I realize this is a style thing and a trend, you should do what I do and leave that equipment in the spare tire area. Otherwise it will rust because the paint chips off from vibration while driving. Once rusted, you’re not getting that D ring open by hand nor tool, and that is going to require a torch or angle grinder to remove (both tools you don’t want anywhere near a plastic bumper.) leave it in the trunk, and only use it to embarrass the 4x4 that needs pulled out.

A side note, once a year, take the shackles out and spray the threads with Wd40 to keep insulated from moisture and rust.
