btw, the g37 or even the 350 hitch should fit if you are willing to cut your rear bumper. You have to cut the bottom portion of the fog light off in order for the hitch to come out properly

I have done one better… Or so I hope…

I am in the process of modifying the bumper bar to make my receiver hitch fit. At this point I am past the point of no return…

I will post a DDIY (don’t do this yourself) if it works. Pray for me…

Good luck. Cheap alternate is always good. Now we need one foe fuel starve and brake ducts

Success! It was a hell of a lot of work. But I did it.

My solution involves some major cutting of the rear bumper bar. If you only have a Dremel tool or a cutting wheel on a drill it will take serious time and commitment. Also, don’t let your wife see you hacking up your rear bumper…

I will post a DIY with complete details later this week.

About the Brake ducts. I posted a DIY on brake ducts almost a year ago. Just as good as the Stillen ones IMO. I just don’t know what it takes to get Sticky around this place.
