Hitch cover

[1slow20]

Well, for the money I’m not real impressed.

I have the zeus solid version painted gloss black to match exhaust trim. I really like mine even though it was expensive

I think it looks good, but I myself wouldnt spend the money.

Here is closer to what I would like to see for a hitch cover. No one's seems interested in making it. Seems it would be a snap for Fenfab.

I like that flush look, but I think if it was painted gloss black its would look better. Where did you get the photo?

One of these forums in the last month or so. That person made their own. Pfaff Designs.

I like the Zeus 3D cover. It’s not cheap…quality parts usually aren’t.

I’m on the fence about getting one. I feel it needs something there, just not sure how I feel about these

I really liked the version from SS-tuning - best looking one so far in my book.

....but the total price would have been outrageous buying from Europe, shipping and duties, and having it prepped and painted on top of it. The real deal breaker was also that the install was semi-permanent with double sided tape and drilling/screwing through the existing bumper.


I went with the Optimus Design - $350 painted. And it is quickly and easily removable if you do need to use the hitch for a bike rack or something.

They also have a version with a brake light cutout. Here's my car after install.

Where did you get that and how much?

He probably got it from Lethal Performance for around 300.

looks great and cleans up the rear end, I'd like to see some of the color match options pictured. I have a white one I'd like to see installed on one, I do like the gloss black, wish the bumper molding color would hold up, even if they could have gone to a more "gloss" finish...

Love the tire width! What size and you get any rub?

I use this one, I tow alot and am constantly popping the hitch off and I like how it snaps in/out quickly, and how small it is to throw in the back.

Not really the same thing though.

I went with a hitch step. Gives a little parking lot protection. You don't even notice it from behind. It actually blends in pretty well.

How does that install? Does it just snap into the hitch?
