GT4 Build - Tow straps

Most track organizations require or recommend tow hooks or tow straps. Tow hooks are falling out of favor given the extra damage they can cause in a crash, so I decided to get the OMP GT4 Clubsport tow straps. The front tow strap is easy to install as you simply remove the bumper cover and screw in the tow strap.

The rear two strap is BEHIND the license plate. I guess Porsche thought we would all love to remove and reinstall our license plate for each track day. No thank you. So what I did was buy a hinged (spring loaded) license plate that was made for a Chevelle in the 60’s. You can buy this on eBay for about $30. Once installed you simply flip up the license plate, screw in the OMP tow strap, and let the license plate flip back down. In case you needed to get towed the strap is sticking out and ready for a grab and the tension on the strap would keep the license plate flipped up out of the way.

Now I can keep my license plate installed but quickly and easily install and remove front and rear tow straps for my track days. Thank god for 1960’s tech to help Porsche with an obvious design flaw.
