993 Front tow point

Looking for installation options for a front thru bumper tow loop. Seen the ones that Renn and our host sell, wont work for me. Need to see how to add one dead center and low on the front pan . Most track only 911s run this set up, just want to be sure I attach correctly.

TIA

993RS & Cup have a reinforcement panel behind the front wall, 993.501.807.00
The tow U bolts through that

Why does it need to be dead center and low? I used the stock tow hook for my 964 for years before I had the current set-up custom fabricated when the car was rebuilt. The stock works fine for loading and unloading from a trailer via a winch, as an attachment point and to have the car pulled off the track.

For me it is not an issue of the location, but rather the availability of "a" location on my new 993 GT2 EVO. The stock location of a 993RS is where I am leaning, but I am using a 911 tub, so I may locate the loop just forward of the suspension tie in area, with 2 plates welded to the tub as a sandwich type application to give some extra support.
