I believe dostrix is also a member of this forum; maybe he has those on his car and can exhibit the final product

 

Yes, and some additional pictures of the back side would help in order to see how they attach to the bumper itself.

 

They're located in Thailand; I hope they're doing fine amidst the political downturn...

 

Hello
This is my first version of AMG tow hook cover, made of fiberglass which may not perfect as plastic molding process
To install, it need just a little of silicon glue to attach with the bumper
Do not use a lot of silicon, so it will be easier when you need to open the cover just peel it off, when you it back just glue it again

The black mesh screen, I have the aluminum type with black color please letting me know if you want or you can DIY the net, not difficult

Here is the picture of the back

Dostrix, do you sell these individually as I only need the drivers/of-side for a RHD UK car? If so houw much for one of these shipped to the UK?

Thanks

Finally biting the bullet and looking around for two AMG hook covers

Has anyone purchased and could provide feedback on the dostrix tow hook covers? seems like a steal

so far:
parts.com: $614 for both
dealer: $850 for both

 

I just received the Dostrix covers today and am not satisfied...the fit is off. If the top of the cover is flush the bottom is not flush, If I make the bottom flush the top doesn't line up correctly. I've got an email in to dostrix to see what can be done. I'm going to post a new thread with how things work out.

Mike, I'm sorry that they didn't work out for you but if my memory serves me well someone else had the same problem that your experiencing. May I suggest that you consider drilling a small hole in the top and maybe the bottom and screw them in place. This will also stop them from falling off of the car.

Please keep us posted if you are able to make them work. If not just return them to Dostrix and get your money back and purchase the following

AMG Tow Hook Cover unpainted medium gray w/ black mesh screen
WA1298800405, right $355.28 w/ S&H (passenger side)
WA1298800305, left $355.28 w/ S&H from Parts.com

Total $710.56

Regards, Lynn

 

I'm waiting to hear from Dostrix before I try to modify them. Shipping was 40 bucks, not sure I want to spend another 40 to ship them back. I'd be happy if he refunded half the price. I can't for the life of me see how these things could be $350 apiece, has to be all of 5 dollars in materials. Unreal!!

I'll let everyone know how it turns out

one word "mercedes" if they were ferrari or lamborghini they would be $1000 a piece lol

 

This is great, I just sent him an email and will probably get a painted set. If I need to I will make some small rubber spacers to even the covers in the bumper.

Jay

 

I received an email from Dostrix...basically said I'm on my own. He said most people have to make some modifications because of bumper flex and warping, not what I wanted to hear, I guess the price should have been an indicator. Not mad, just a bit disappointed. I guess I'll try and modify them to fit. I'll post pictures of the process when I'm finished

Mike

 

Good Lord...talk about a pain in the rear. Fiberglass doesn't modify well. I'm having an impossible time getting these Dostrix tow hook covers to fit properly. I know Doxtrix is a board vendor but based on my experience, I can't recommend these tow hook covers.

Thanks for the feedback. Have you tried getting your money back less the shipping?

I'm pretty sure that Dostrix is NOT a BW Supporting Vendor.

 

I tried the money back route...he said something about having to get with his "marketer/distributor" but I haven't heard back from him. I should have known better, I might be able to make one of the tow hook covers work the other is hopeless. Lesson learned, maybe some "real" ones will pop up somewhere.

Mike

 

maybe some "real" ones will pop up somewhere.

Not likely. Unless it's Parts.com or you might PM patfarrell

 

Who is patfarrell? Is he the finder of lost/hard to find parts? If so I will PM him for sure.

 

Thanks for the tip. I plan on ordering them today.

Joe B.

 

Joe, I'm sure you have read the entire thread but I'm confused. Who are you ordering them from? Parts.com or Dostrix.com?

 

Dostrix.com.

 

I ordered a set on 7/25 and will post up when I get them.

Jay

 

Me too. Can't wait to see how they fit. Mercedes wants $428 for one...is that nuts, or is it me?

 

If I have expensive and hard to find AMG bumper on my car, I'll install a backup camera on the front license plate. It will help to decide to go forward or not when there are bumps in the parking.

 

How badly damaged are your old tow hook covers? I'd think a combination of fiberglass compound, pro-grade adhesive, sandpaper, paint can repair them.

 

LOST!

 

ditto

 

Dostrix,

My Toe hook covers, have not arrived, and the tracking modality stopped working, as has your email. Please advise.

Joe3906@optonline.net

Thanks,

Joe B.

 

Hey,

Toe hook covers finally arrived a month after I ordered them; had to paint them, not great, passable, and would I buy them again if I needed to? NO!


Joe B. :crybaby2:

 

Mine were attempted delivery on Monday but I was not home to receive them Picked them up at PO on Wednesday, they looked OK at first glance but I have not had time to dry fit them to the vehicle.

 

Yes,

I picked them up at the post office on Wednesday. I just came up from the garage where I dry fitted them. They will require some work to make fit but I am pretty sure they will work out just fine.

When I buckle down to that process I will post back. Time will tell.

Joe I guess you have not received them yet?

Are you able to post a picture of your installed Sport Tow Hook covers?

Regards, Lynn

 

Dostrix replied when I put a claim in with PayPal; apparently, they tried to deliver them on 7/31, but I was not home, nor did the mail man leave an attempt to deliver notice. I went to the Post Office and picked them up today. Now I have to fit them, scuff them and paint them Silver...the covers
are black from the box. In any case I will let the forum know how it all works out before leaving a recommendation.

Thanks,
Joe B.

 

Ordered mine a week ago. I sent a message with the order about having them painted, but I haven' heard back. No confirmation of order or anything. Should I be worried?

 

Dostrix AMG Tow Hook covers

They work. The size is correct, they come with the mesh attatched, and the only thing I could see as constructive criticism is that the angle (pitch) is a bit off. However, they are fine, and one would have to look hard to tell the difference from the OEM.

Great deal, Dostrix...Thanks.

Would you please post a picture? It's worth a thousand words.

Thanks in advance, Lynn

 

TOTAL RIP-OFF! I ordered a set in Oct of last year. Emailed a question and never got a response. Emailed about the order after a month and never got a response. Did a dispute with Paypal and was told that after 45 days they couldn't do anything. Trying to now get a refund through my credit card company. Don't waste your time or money.
