    The pip has tow hook spots but I can't find the tow eye anywhere?

    Is it even equipped with one?
    If yes, where ?

    They are beneath the front bumper cover revealed by prying off the square covers.

    The tow "eye" or hook is with the tire tools and the jack in a compartment behind the front seat in the PIP.

    it should be with your jack and tire change kit.

    On the regular liftback it is on a tray on top of the spare tire. On the PiP no clue.

    Good to know. I had assumed the 'tow guy' would have a universal tow eye. Good to know I HAVE IT! :)

    A jack is sure handy if you notice a flat at home and need to remove it to repair (plug) it or take to a shop to for them to repair. I just plug a hole with the tire on the car, but I've heard some like to remove the tire.
