    Custom receiver hitch for plastic bumpers

    Custom built receiver hitch for plastic bumper cars. You know that there is no option from Dalan or anyone else to have a real receiver hitch for the late model cars. This is a custom built one, it attaches to the bumper bracket on the driver side, the tow hook on the passenger side, and 2 holes get drilled into the spare tire well. The sticker claims a 2000lb max trailer weight, but I wouldn't. I used this to pull a 4x4 harbor freight tire trailer for years, but took it off to save the weight now that I have a tow vehicle.

    I'll include the ball mount as well since it had to be modified to fit (cut off a notch in the very back, nothing structural)

    The only hitches I know of for plastic bumper cars are drawbars, like this: http://www.hitchweb.com/product/88/1...BMW-300-Series
    For the aluminum bumper cars, you can get: http://www.hitchweb.com/product/88/1...h-BMW-3-Series

    Notched to make it fit into the receiver:

    Do you have a pic of it installed taken far away. So we could see the whole rear of the car with it installed.

      I don't have any good ones, but here's a couple action shots that should give you a good idea.

                Trades...not much I need. So little of the car is near stock at this point.
