Chief Charlie,
http://ccmustangbrackets.com/purchase.html
Bracket basically clamps to the upper facia/lower bumber cover using aluminum strap and wing nuts. Allows mounting a front plate w/out holes in bumper.
The 2011+ is different than the one in the pic. He uses the same pic for all models.
If we installed the tow hook bumber, we could use the Craig plate holder for DD, then remove it at the track and install the ring.

06GT, thanks for the pics and info. I'll keep this on my winter "should I" list.

Well folks, I ordered the tow hook kit from Rehagen Racing. It is 2 loops, 2 brackets and the schematics to mount the brackets. They do need to be welded-on, and slots will need to be cut in the bumper beam, and in the bumper covers. I'll also have to figure out how to remount the license plates.



It will take me a while to get it in to a body shop to have this done (I can't weld). Not sure if they'll be able to take pics along the way or not. I'll see what I can do.

I'll update this when I find out more.

Ron,

Awesome!
Other than a trailer, this is my #1 upgrade.
I figure if I install them, I'll never need them, so that alone will make it worth it.
The Craig bracket should work on the front. May have to make a filler plate for the back to hold the license plate off the car for anchor clearance.
Looking forward to your updates.

I'm hoping that I can just cut a slot in the holder for the front lic. plate (since it's already on anyway), then make some kind of a "frame" for the rear plate...

Those girls won't be very happy when someone ties a tow rope onto those rings to tow your Boss back onto the track.

Bump!

Any pics of an install process? Is it just pull the bumper off, measure a million times and cut/weld once? My friend down the street has a Fat Welder compared to my janky flux core s**t box.

I apparently NEED tow hooks... It's at the end of the vid if you're interested. Spring Mountain near Las Vegas.

I have a Blowfish Racing bolt-in tow hook on my 2011 gt. sold on eBay. Didn't have to cut or weld anything!

Do you have any photos of this installed? Does it mount right below the bumper?

I don't have pics, but it mounts behind the bumper support and protrudes under the bumper cover(just below the license plate holder). When folded, it does not stick past any of the body work.
