Got a new QX, tow quite a bit and did not like the rough look.

So I bought a 2nd cover and using a 3 inch hole saw tweaked the black cover for towing.

Welcome to NICO! Do you have a "before" pic?

'Before pic' is the stock cover with no holes and painted to match body.

Like this one: Image

Removing the stock cover leaves a nasty unfinished rectangular hole in the bumper the size of the mod above.

Does anyone want to sell their stock tow cover, looking for a black one?

Skeeter,
The mod looks great !!! After taking off the cover for the first time, it looks rough...

Do the chains hang under the cover ?

Also, If anyone has a spare cover, please send me a msg.
