I'm sure it would have made this even easier. It would be nice if GrimmSpeed and/or Perrin had a template outline included in the directions. Hopefully you can see the slightly 'ovalized' hole here:Īfter replacing the tow hook cover you can see it looks better even if you can't really notice it behind the license plate. Once I made a round hole I test fitted it over the tow hook and used the dremel to make the hole oval on the horizontal plane to adjust for the angle the tow hook plate is over the tow hook until it fit nicely. After drilling the hole and measuring the size of the shaft from center, I used a dremel to cut out a larger hole. A good first experience with an Acura service department Thanks again for the advice. They installed the bracket in ten minutes.
Then I put the template over the cover and drilled a hole at the location of the tow hook shaft. I went ahead and took the MDX in to the local dealer. Looking back, cutting out a hole here may have been a better idea than what I did: This is what it looks like without the cover which I didn't really like and you could see it open from the side:įirst I made a template of the cover, laid it over the grimmspeed tow hook shaft, and put a hole in the template at the center of the shaft. Instead of using a drill I used a Dremel since the hole had to be oval because of the angle of the cover. Pretty simple to do- about 20 min, just be patient. I figured I'd just post some pics for our BRZs since they are different.
