Silly Question

Hi folks,

I have a silly question.

A friend of mine just got a new s2000. Sweet looking car.

Anyway, it has a rubber cover in the rear bumper that, when removed, gives access to what looks like a bolt of some kind.

Any idea what this is for?

(I don't have access to the owner's manual)

Take Care,

No idea. Maybe post a picture.

On second though, that might be the tow hook.

Tow Hook? On an S2000? Interesting.

While looking around in the trunk, I notice what looked like a "Threaded Eye" bolt next to the tire iron. Didn't know what that was about either.

So, you may be right. Still not sure though. I will talk with them this weekend and see if its figured out.

Take Care,

Clawhammer is right, it's for the towhook. Towhook as in if the s2000 needs to be towed, not if the s2000 was towing something itself. The threaded eye thing you saw goes inside after you remove the little plastic cover on the bumper.

Yep - CONFIRMED - It is indeed the tow hook.

Thanks guys!
