You guys will appreciate this story; good friend of mine started his company Factor 55 at his house, lives few doors from me, with one product - self designed and machined. Mostly off-road recovery products. factor55.com. Heavily focused on engineered and tested products that are 100% American made...here in Boise. They now have a ton of products and are the shizzle in the off road world, something like 15 SEMA awards (South Building in the center, this year)

I convinced him to build me some custom tow hooks and this is the beginning of that process. The front will get lightened up quite a bit but waiting until I do the front spoiler. His system uses a soft shackle for connect to the tow vehicle. Not sure how I'm going to attach the rear, will work on it this weekend.

It looks nice, are you going to clear anodize or paint or something like shark hide?

Thanks!
Yep, anodize. Not sure of color yet. Getting pretty close to inking the body color; Valencia Orange, Ford Red or Gun Metal Gray, all still on the option block. Exterior aluminum pieces will likely be gun metal gray for the orange or red options.

car is way to cool to hide all the body modifications under a dark gray. They will disappear. I would go with orange and accent with gun metal, or something of the sorts.
