Can I see a picture of the tow ring you mentioned? I'd like to forward it to Draw Tite to see what they think. This is a 2007 Honda Fit correct?

Now I see what you mean. Actually the hitches we offer for your 2007 Honda Fit come with a U-bolt that wraps around the tow hook you sent a picture of when installing. I attached a picture that shows the hitch installed on a silver Fit and you can see the hook like in yours as well. So your current hook would not be an issue at all!
