Any ideas where/how to mount a front toe strap? I feel the front cage for the hood is not strong enough. Thanks
Here are a couple of threads with ideas.

Open top cars with exposed cages are usually exempted from tow hooks/straps. The tow truck just hooks to the cage. At least in race events. HPDE organizers may have a different rule. I don't have any tow straps/hooks on my 818R and I've been towed plenty of times!

Mine is an open top R. When I broke the left rear hub at VIR, they used straps to pick the whole car up from the roll cage because it would not roll. I've used the top roll bar many times to winch the car onto the trailer as well.
