If this turns out to be real, and not terribly expensive, I'll buy one.

Well I been trying for many days to get a hitch for the coupe, I just gave up. U-Hault told me that they are working on a hitch for the G35 coupe but it could take like 4 months before it comes out (who knows when it will really come out). I checked the link that mmpotash posted but it shows no picture, or information on it. I also found a guy localy in Miami that says that he will custom made one for the car (I took him the car and he put it on the lift to look at it) but he won't do the electrical. It looks like nobody wants to touch the electrical on our cars, becuase supposely the computer or something on the electrical will blow. No even the dealer will do it, if i was to get the custom hitch from the local shop. So practically without the electrical i can't do it, f***. Well for now I took my girlfriend's Corolla and just had the hitch installed, at least I can tow the ski now. If somebody happens to know who will do the electrical or sell and hitch from the car, please share it with us here. Some of us really will like to have one on our coupes.

...that's my fear as well- G35_TX, thanks for the pics (and glad I was wrong about a trailer pulling your G into the lake..)
Could you post a pic of G w/out the trailer hooked up so I can see what it would look like during "everyday" driving? I might want one just for putting a bike rack on... so very curious what it would look like most days. Thx.

You might want to check this out for pics. When I had mine done custom, it wasn't done very well so it showed more than this aftermarket one by Curt which wasn't out at the time.

Hi Guys,
So the summer has hit and I really have been thinking of getting the ol' mtn bike and road bikes out, as well as possibly picking up a motorcycle. Well, my G coupe is my only vehicle, and since its my daily driver anyway, I think a trailer might be a good option. Anyone get this Curt hitch installed, and either have pics or can explain how it bolts to the car? Also, anyone have any further news on the electrical side of things?
I did find a price online. $106.

And a little more info, it looks like its a bolt on component, no drilling required for the coupe(at least from this site it says that)

Finally, I saw a coupe today with a hitch. I was talking to the owner, who has and 04 IP 6MT Turbo and 20" HREs in other words a sick ride. Well he said the hitch goes installed to the rear bumper, yes some drilling required.
He got it at: http://www.etrailer.com/products.asp...finiti&t1=&h=e
He uses it to tow the same thing I been wanting to tow for a while a Jet Ski, so it finally looks like our prayers were answered. He also said the car tows the ski with no problems at all, and never had a problem getting out of the ramp. (supposely his back tires never even get wet) but ramps have to be a bit incline (which all around here are)
Check out the etrailer site they have pictures and installation manual. It can hadle 1500lbs GTW and 150lbs TW which I think is definately enough for my ski.
Well, I'm seriously thinking about ordering one. However, I wanted to tknow what you guys think? It should be fine right?
One thing though no electrical whatsoever. This guy told me they fried his computer twice trying to hook up the electrical.....So I guess we can only have the trailer during day time.
