here's mine. i had to take one of the adjustment nuts off because it was
(to me) sticking out too much forward. looks ok?
my car's hibernating so could not take any better picts outside... it looks
good from the front.

with or without the hook...so not so much of an issue.
but it's just screwed on so someone could come along and steal it if they
wanted it that bad. the only place I park my car is at the gas station
and the dealer (well, my house too), so i don't think it would ever get
stolen.
i can remove it before taking it into service too, i guess.

the store said they have a lot of the red ones in stock a few days ago.

to swing back and not hit the body..that's why the post is so long.
i removed the adjustment nut on the ring side to lessen the post length
by about 9-10mm. you can add a spacer on the car side to get the
hook to tighten up to where it's horizontal.
hope that helps. i like mine... it really grew on me after a few weeks.
