It's a Powell. I take the hook off and put it in the trunk when I'm not heading to the track. the mount stays on and is pretty innocuous.

Thanks, I'll look it up on their website, there isn't a track in Maine so I probably would just get it for the looks haha

Or for getting towed out of a snowbank without damage.

It isn't on the website. email gloria@powellraceshop.com. Available in any powdercoat color. There is a guy in the parts forum selling a pair of white ones right now. Might look good on black, nice contrast.

Yeah I was thinking either white or red, I kind have gone black and silver most of the way except my calipers, but white sounds better. I'll check it out, thanks!

It comes with four adhesive bases, so I used one of those. I just cleaned the tow hook nice and clean, dried it and stuck the adhesive base on there that fit best.

I ended up getting paged for work as this is my on call week, and I didn't get to go to the drag strip, so I don't know how vibration proof this will end up being. I can tell you it's really darned solid though. I tightened down the two hook swivel bolt really &&ing tight and it doesn't seem to be able to vibrate.

I'm going to stick the cam in the housing tomorrow and turn it on for the ride to work just to see. It sure feels more solid than the suction cup mount. We'll see.

Oh, and I'll try to get a better picture. Instagram murdalizes pictures.
