Guys who want to keep their tow hooks, if you have a welder, or know someone that does you can do a little modifying. If I remember correctly, the reason you have to remove them is the bolt isn't long enough

did you test spray it too see how well it will hold up? a lot of aerosol spray cans scratch easy, spray gun paints have paint hardner and more than one primmer.

yea i tested it on a piece of stainless steel i had layin around and it held up good. didnt scratch or chip easy. it held strong.
on my skid plate i sanded and put 2 coats of primer, then 2 coats of paint and 3 of clearcoat so i think it should be pretty resistant to scratches and chips.
