    Next year im planning on buying a boat,thus need a towbar,BUT I also want to fit my bodykit at some stage too which includes a genuine VS HSV rear bar and i have no plans to ever cut into it for any reason. Every towbar ive seen so far involves cutting the rear bar to suit (coz the hsv bar is lower the stock items) so im wondering if there a towbar i can get or should i buy a cheap aftermarket HSV bar and just cut into that

    A company over here does a towbar that fits, but it is only rated to 1200kgs, it has a spacer between the bar and the tongue and it comes out under the bumper.
