So, I have made hundreds of these and have many satisfied customers. I flat tow longer distances as it gives me an insurance policy that if it stops running I can always get it back home at minimal expense. It's also the only way the wife will go on the further trips. You don't even notice it's there. I leave mine on all the time. The LE airdam allows for the bracket to be accessed without removing anything.
The assembly bolts to the "frame" at the front A arm mount point and we provide the hardened steel bolts to do so as part of the kit. The LE airdam is ONLY available at $125 with the purchase of the tow bar. Brackets are optional and not required if a Empi style tow bar is not used. So, who's interested? I'll post up more pictures later today. Attached thumbnail(s)

I didn't like the adapters I made so, I'm working on the adapters and will have ready in about 10 days.
The new ones will be $25 when ready and I will keep the GB open until They are complete + a week or two. If you want them you can wait. BUT the good news is I will GIVE you the ones I made. no charge. Will cost more to rework them than bend up new metal. They work but need the hole located up a little more (in my opinion) You be the judge, may save you $25 Thanks for your patience, mark |

I have your bracket attached to my car and the Harbor Freight Tow Bar. I leave Tuesday (early AM) for California and would like to have something in case of catastrophic failure... I arrive at Rennsport Thursday in the 914 Corral. Thanks! |
