Painted tow hooks?

Looks nice - are they on there pretty snug? I'm afraid they may fall off there isn't any adhesive. Curious.

I have the covers from post #7 (see profile pic or my other posts). They look pretty good and will provide some small measure of protection, but in my eyes, the best part about the covers as opposed to paint, is that the covers are quite a bit larger than the layer of paint or dip you might otherwise apply, and it makes the tow hooks look thicker. The metal Ford uses for the stock tow loops is fairly thin; these reduce the 'anemia' and make them look good. Yes, I agree that a Ford Blue (Atlas) or the lighter Lightning Blue would be great colors for the company to add, but the red looks great too.

Thanks. I was curious if they simply slide on or adhered with something sticky. I was able to watch the video they slide on the original tow hooks. I guess my question was more or less whether you fear they'll fall off whilst driving.

I think there is almost zero chance they'd fall off. The silicone is stiffly molded into the shape of the hooks, and fits pretty accurately, with the open part (just a small 'slice') facing downward. You'd have to snag it on something substantial for it to pull up and off, and at that point, you've got bigger issues than $35 covers...

Just painted some white silicone tow hook covers with Rustoleum Oasis Blue. Dont think itll last long because its on silicone, but whatever

Looks great! Thanks for sharing and for being part of the Ford family!
