YES the hooks that they used kind of scratched my hook and left some indentations but thats normal since the hook is made of aluminum

they hooked and pulled it up onto the platform and secured it down with 2 hooks onto front tow hook and 1 on the rear tow hook, also they scratched my bumper due to my car being to low

like this:
only cars of this caliber deserve tow hooks, everyone else who buys is it for function is just a poser, imo

I don't understand how tow hooks make your car look more "JDM". Do Japanese domestic cars come with tow hooks? I haven't seen any.
The only one I would ever get would be the rear hook, reason being, if my car is being pulled up onto a flat bed, I would rather them winch it up from the rear, as the angle of attack from the front could damage the front lip on a lowered car.
Our rear OEM hooks are below the car under the bumper, now if you have a rear lip and the winch is hooked to the oem tow hook there is the risk of the winch cable being pulled up into the rear lip, thus the rear hook COULD be functional because it sticks out from the rear of the car, and there is no chance for the winch cable to dent/crack/slice through your rear lip.
BUT, most tow drivers around me drive the trucks that have the hydraulic arms that wrap around the front wheels and lift the front end up. They don't even have to get out of the truck, and they could give two ****s about how you want your car towed.
