Alright folks, the next question I have is a Hidden Hitch front hitch... I know I have to lose the front tow hooks, but from my understanding, this is worth it. Is there anyone who has done this mod themselves and had any problems? Also, how easy of an install is it? Do I need to take the front bumper off? As always, thanks for the help! ADAM |

If you use your imagination you don't have to loose tow hooks. The hitch is a far better choice than hooks, just get the reciever hook and since its dead center it will equalize the stress better. |

You'll need to remove the front plastic bumper and etc. PLan on 3 hours and get your rivets beforehand. No speical tools required. If you search this forum you'll find where to get detailed assembly instructions. |

Awesome guys, thanks alot! Now, the next question, if I get a REAR hitch, can I keep my Borla dual outlet exhaust? I'd only get it if I didn't need to replace the exhaust, but if I can have both, that would be ideal! Thanks again! ADAM |

I've read that one brand, I think Reese perhaps, makes a modular front hitch that doesn't require bumper removal. |

To remove the hooks I bet you'd need to do a bumper removal. Technically speaking the Hidden Hitch doesn't require it either but I think the job is a ton easier if its removed. You'll need seom eenie weenie wittle hands otherwise. Besides the bumper removal is pretty easy. |

Matt is right...To remove all the parts for the tow hooks you will have to pull the front bumper...but not really a big deal. later...clint |
