Thanks! It was like $48, so not to bad, not much more than a factory mount.

I would think it would be universal fit as long as the threads of the tow hook are the same. What is the tread size of the tow hook on a Gen coupe?

Re: Project GTL!
Also, can't believe I haven't posted this yet.
Found this sticker under the hood! It is for the factory tune. Which is only 20hp and 17tq, and I wouldn't have bought it, but I'll take power I don't have to pay for! Still would like to stop by the dealer and have them confirm or not if it is still on the car.

You can take the guy out of the Mitsu spirit, but never the Mitsu spirit out of the guy.

Re: Project GTL!
Got a present in the mail yesterday!!
Starting to work on the covering up the old man wood! I had originally thought about brushed aluminum, but this CF was super cheap, and had to give it a shot!
Back door piece.
Installed

That is all I had time for last night, gonna work on it more as I can.
