Default Anyone have a tow hitch installed on their S4?

Want to get one installed for some light towing, but don't want one that requires messing/drilling through the rear bumper.

If you have one could you tell me where you got it and about how it cost.

Pics would be great.

Thanks

Default I found this with a quick search...

Kris Hansen on the B5 A4 forum has one on his 2.8 Avant that he custom built himself without cutting into the bumper.<ul><li><a href="http://www.bageco.com/hitchlistssp/hitchlistsp_audi.htm">click</a></li></ul>

Default Some people have them, personally I think a small trailer is a great idea.

Makes getting track tires and tools to the track MUCH easier than putting them in the car.

It's a much easier way to haul stuff to the track than putting track tires in the car.

Default And it's not that bad, really, just need an installer that cares to do it better than right. :)

Even with an avant I'd rather not have a netfinity 7000 in the passenger compartment.
