the cars tow hook actually is located on the left of the bumper...i wanted mine in the center so i drilled 2 holes inside trunk to mount it. mostly just for the look but honestly i think it still works since i used 2 long bolts across the back wall of trunk. if you want to see pics or anything let me know and i'll start a new post

thanks man...we will get together soon so you can see it
btw the only reason i "have a good eye for what looks good on our cars"
is thanks to all of you guys here on SG. If it wasnt for all the trial and error that everyone here goes through i would never imagine this car could look so good.

maybe i will consider trying to make another one but i would need to order a spare grille. I think it would turn out much better since i already know what not to do with it and what pieces need to be cut. Its just took me a while to figure everything out but shouldn't take that long to reproduce another
