- A small but expensive add on, I really like the look of it but I'm not sure it was worth the $225.00. Let me know in the comments what you guys think.
Just started watching. Subscribed and "liking" them as I go. Very enjoyable and down to earth.
Thank you so much for watching I touch on a lot of different things other than car stuff a lot of tractor projects and such around my property and miscellaneous. Thanks again
I’ll consider it where they provide the hole already done and expand the amount of colors available😮
Good job, their video leaves off the cover. They could provide a replacement cover with the part or like you said, provide a template.
Good Video.....I agree Paragon should give you a template. I was thinking you could just leave the red hook part off and stored in your glove box or trunk until when/if you need it. Personnally, I dont care for the hook hanging there. To me it takes away from the front look. You could just leave the nut on, wouldnt be at all noticeable, and just have the hook part available when needed. Just my view....or would there be something not good about that idea. Thanks again for the video!
Awesome install video! The red looks great on your car.
I am getting ready to order a 2023 convertible that I will need a lot of your products ,maybe we can work out a sponsorship ? Before I heard about you guys I had ordered a lot of product from other companies that I'm not very happy with , so far I like the Paragon gear
@@70elco28 We don't offer any sponsorships
@@ParagonPerformance That's OK maybe my videos will sell a few products for you anyway

How about a template to put on the cover.
Great idea.
@@larrynewberry3500We have templates for the cover but we found most don't want to cut into the piece or they dont leave it in permanently. If you've ordered tow Hooks and want a template send us a email.
Nice job.
Can't believe they don't send a template with it
I know right,
Looks sweet, but it probably cost them $5. Just bought the radiator guards from Chevy, good lord $400. But, you know, this is our hobby and fun costs $.
It's a part for a Corvette. That's why the crazy price.
I'm sure there's some truth in that but it's a pretty sweet piece
What's your take on the new brake pads? Hopefully noticably less brake dust
Absolutely love them I would guess the brake dust is 80 to 90% reduced I love it
@@70elco28 thanks for letting us know. My 23 should be here soon when can I stop by? Install video looked reasonably easy but I'm sure I could damage my brake system with little effort. I've never changed brakes except on a Schwinn in highschool. I'm so screwed 🙏
@@70elco28 while watching your uploads I've noticed the car is on jack stands. How and where do you place the stands while jacking. Love to know the secret to this. How's dad's car thanks
@@davidryder5082 I show how to jack up the car on a couple of my C8 videos, but the short of it is you need what I call non slip jack pucks that go up into 4, oval slots in frame and drop down about 2 inches, that's where you place your lift or floor Jack then the jack stands can go on frame close to the jacking points
You will also need a low profile floor jack
Looks like it obstructs front camera?
It does slightly but not a deal breaker for me.
$225 holy crap!
Yeah it was expensive but it is a very nice piece and I really like it
That same part wouldn't be near as expensive if it were for your wife's Malibu or your daughter's Spark.
Would probably be twice as much for my wife's Mercedes or my daughters BMW
A good video but that horrible electronic music at the end of it is a real buzz kill.
Too expensive for just a tow hook.
"Warning!" You sure you're not overloaded with plug-ins on your wall? (-;
lwill never trust those kind tow hook style they are only for show ...the real tow hook it's it should made from The heavy Metal and the Weight must be at least 871 g
Never planned on using it as a tow device but it is pretty heavy duty I think it would do the job just fine, That car is gone anyway but I kept the tow hook so if I get another C8 it will go on it
Not worth the money
I hope Paragon goes out of business. They are a ripoff.
They are definitely proud of their equipment but so far the stuff I have purchased from them has been a much higher quality than items that I've picked up from other sources
@@70elco28 Fair assessment, but everything I have seen from them plays on the desires of the owners. The demand has to be limited as there aren’t a great deal of cars on the street
Tow hooks are for posers.
@@jd4810 yep, and it looks great, hope I never have to use it for real
