For those of you that has had your FL5 towed on a flatbed, how did they winch the car onto the flatbed since there's no front tow hook on the car? Thanks.

There are two shallow hooks in front of each wheel well. That being said most tow drivers are used to wrapping around the a-arms

Thanks for the info. I would also be scared to have it winched by the lower A Arms. Honda put a tow point in the rear and it just boggles my mind why they didn't do one for the front, especially on a car that's touted to be designed for track use. They could easily added one in the front like what most German cars do. IMHO, the front tow point is used more often than the rear, so I'm trying to understand the reason why Honda decided to left it off. Perhaps an oversight?
