Do you know what bolt and nut to use for front and rear?

This would allow me to thread into the rear tow under the plastic panel?

I don’t know, I barely just ordered my tow strap

I just ordered 2 straps. I think that’s the correct threading for the OEM rear tow. The idea would be to thread it and tuck in the strap when not in use.

I think you would have to do something like this

I think he took the shaft from the evasie and welded a hook.

Appart from that I am not seeing how you could get this strap to work in the back

I know this post is a little old now, but Honda Dream Shop has an updated HRC tow strap that now includes all the mounting hardware and instructions for installation.

Interesting! I may get it just to see what the “bumper beam extension” looks like.

I dont know about an extension, but there is a bumper beam spacer you drop in since the bumper beam is just a hollow square beam, probably to make sure there is still structural integrity.

If anyone gets the updated version it would be nice to see what actually comes with it and whether it’s useful. Considering these are universal parts.

I got mine installed a few weeks ago and it came out nicely I thought. The front tucks in nicely when not in use. The rear requires the Evasive tow hook shaft and boring out the hole a bit to allow the bolt to pass through and thread into the EVS tow shaft.
