EVS Tuning Foldable Front Tow Hook for FK8 Civic Type R

EVS Tuning Foldable Front Tow Hook - 2017-2021 Civic Type R (FK8)

This is the D-shaped foldable tow hook for the FK8, the folding ring itself, designed specifically for the 2017-2021 Civic Type R. It gives you a proper front tow point for track days that folds flat when you're not using it. One important thing to know up front: on the FK8, this hook needs the front tow hook adapter to reach, so it isn't a standalone part on this car. Available in red or yellow.

Read This First: It Needs The Adapter

The most important thing on this page, because ordering this alone won't work on an FK8.

On the FK8 Type R, this foldable tow hook will not reach far enough to install by itself. The hook portion has to pair with the front tow hook adapter, which extends it out to where it needs to be to actually mount and function.

So if you're building your FK8 tow point from scratch, you need both this hook and the adapter. Ordering just the hook leaves you with a part that physically can't reach its mounting point.

Why They're Sold Separately

It makes sense once you understand how the pieces work together.

The hook and the adapter are sold as separate parts on purpose, because you might need one without the other. If your hook is damaged or you want to change colors, you can replace just the hook. And the adapter works with the factory tow hook too, so someone can buy the adapter alone to run their OEM hook, or buy this folding hook to upgrade from the factory one.

Selling them separately means you buy exactly what you need rather than a bundle where half of it duplicates what you already have. For most people building a fresh setup, that's both parts; for a repair or an upgrade, it might be just one.

Why A Proper Tow Point Matters

The reason to fit this at all.

Track day organizers almost universally require a marked, accessible front tow point, because when a car stops on track, the safety crew needs to move it quickly without damaging it or wasting time. No tow point often means no track time.

A folding hook like this satisfies that requirement and gives a recovery crew something strong and obvious to hook onto if you're stranded, rather than dragging the car by something never meant to take the load. It's cheap insurance against a failed tech inspection and a botched recovery both.

Folds Away When You're Done

The advantage of the foldable design over a fixed hook.

A fixed tow hook sticks out permanently, which catches on things and isn't to everyone's taste on a daily driver. This folds: flip it up when you need it at the track, fold it flat the rest of the time. You get the track-required tow point without a hook permanently protruding from the front of the car.

Red Or Yellow

Two finishes, and it's partly practical.

A bright, high-visibility tow point is easier for a recovery crew to spot and grab in a hurry, which is the point. Red (EVS-TOW-01-04) and yellow (EVS-TOW-01-05) are both high-vis, so pick whichever suits your car. Some events even specify a color, so check if yours does.

Who Should Grab This

This is for the FK8 owner who wants a proper folding front tow point for track days, and who either needs the hook to complete a setup or is replacing or recoloring an existing one. Remember it needs the adapter to reach on this car, so order both if you're starting fresh. Pick your color, add the adapter, and get the tow point sorted before your next event.
