G35 Coupe Trailer hitch??

Does anyone know where I can find a tow hitch to tow My Jetski? I have found some for the sedan but can't seem to find one for the Coupe.
Thanks

People here pull their skis with their Gs. I find it ridiculous that you respond in the manner above.

Not everyone can afford multiple vehicles to perform multiple tasks. Seeing as how pulling his ski will likely be a seasonal weekend thing, there's nothing wrong with using the G to do it.

My concerns would be the weight of the ski on the back of the car (tounge weight), and the risk you'll run navigating the slick boat ramps.

G35_TX (for one) uses his sedan and has no trouble - perhaps you'll want to contact him for details of his experiences.

This thread may help you. If you choose the coupe forum, then choose 'search,' then choose 'advanced,' enter the word 'hitch,' and limit the search to titles only, you'll find a few more.

While some find this addition on the coupe distasteful, it's his car and he can do what he wants. It makes more sense than rebadging.

I've been looking to do something similar with snowboards, since I take my coupe up to the mountains with me. But most of the racks are ridiculously priced and can only hold two boards. The whole point is so that it can take four, so I can fit the passengers.
