have you painted your rear tow hook?

on a light colored crossfire the rear tow hook stands out like a sore thumb in the rear cut out to the right of the exhaust area. i painted mine with rustolum satin black paint. see my album for pics.

My car doesn't have a toe hook... just a tow hook

thanks for the idea. That looks great. The white tow hook is an eye sore!

Look like I'll have to paint mine too, also have some white in the wheel wells which I plan to cover with undercoating.
Thanks for the idea.

under coating

under coating looks great if you allow it to dry for a week. (3M undercoating is the best) watch for overspray on your crossfires body. you should really mask off the entire car to prevent this from happening.

the problem is if you wash out your wheel wells to keep them clean the undercoating comes off in time and looks worse than the white factory paint.

i hated seeing the white wheels wells too but i lowered my car and solved that problem.
