the point of the hooks is not so the car isnt towed from suspension components (which like you said would be stupid and i would make the tow company pay for replacement), but to keep the bumpers, which i spent a fair amount of time and effort on, from getting fubar'd. if the hole/hook to tow the car is in the subframe of the car, and my bumpers sit below that, when the tow line is pulled taught, the line will cut upwards into the bumpers, most likely damaging them. plus i have rarely seen any cars around here with tow hooks, and definitely no domestic cars, so i figured i might as well do something different.
