Using the Perrin front tow hook kit is straightforward. First, gather all the included parts from the kit. Then, find the appropriate mounting spot on the front of your 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX or STI. The installation is easy, so you don't need to be a professional mechanic. Just follow the included instructions. Remember, this tow hook is not for recovery purposes, so don't use it to pull your vehicle out of a difficult situation. For maintenance, periodically check the bolts and washers to make sure they are tight. If you notice any signs of wear on the powder - coated finish, you can clean it gently with a mild soap and water solution. Keep the anti - seize packet handy in case you need to re - apply it to the bolts over time.
