Default CME tips RE-do
I had to cut/remove my SLP quad tips when I added a trailer hitch for my seadoo. So I finally got around to having new tips installed. I also added a chrome cover for the hitch hole. next up is finish the pattern for a chrome insert between the tips ala' corvette style.

My roomate has had two trans ams with trailer hitches, but yours looks good. I would make a nice slide in filler and paint it black to kinda hide it inbetween the tips.

I pull a trailer with my vette for my track tires. Only 540lbs unloaded so 750lbs max loaded with my crap for autox. It sure comes in handy when you dont have a truck and trailer available.

Had mine custom made class II and extra strong. I paid $300. They sell a bolt in style but you still need to drill holes and remove material from the bumper support.
