Just got my takata tow strap today. Before I try and just figure it out myself, do anybody know how to install these? Or where to install. If you can provide pictures.

Is this for looks or for legit need a visible tow point for track days?
Did it come with any hardware? There are tow points on the front of the car under the bumper. You would want to attach it to one of those points and then usually people cut a hole in their bumper for it to hang through. You can also attach it to any point on the frame of the car and you may have to go get a bolt and some washers at home depot and make a mounting point.
DO NOT ATTACH IT TO THE BUMPER SUPPORT/CRASH BAR.
It might hold but I don't know if it's strong enough really. The frame supports behind it would be a better location IMO.
Unless its just for looks. Then you need to be careful if you ever need a tow. You can mount it to where ever you like if its just for looks.

Well I'm using it for a pu
I'm using it for a purpose, so if I do break down they can tow my car without pulling my bumper off by using the back.

I really want to know if you are able to get this strap hooked up in the front. I've been wanting to go to the track but haven't because I would like to mount a front tow hook WITHOUT cutting the bumper.
