This may not be the most exciting of posts, but I am quite proud of myself and wanted to share this idea.
The idea came from seeing people with Hayman Reese tow hitches on Subaru's and Mazda's. What it was I kept seeing time was the blank plug that goes inside the tow hitch hole when the tow hitch is removed. The Mazda and Subaru have a "factory part " with thier own decals on them. I have checked with both Ford and Hayman Reese and Ford do not have one as a factory part. Hayman Reese do however sell them with a "Hayman Reese" insignia. So what I have done is to buy the Hayman reese one for $10. I have spray painted over the hayman Reese insignia to make it a black finish. I then went down to super cheap and bought myself a $5.00 pair of "ford" key hole scratch protectors. Cut the Key hole off and that leaves a perfect "Ford" decal for the Tow Hitch Plug. I must say it looks quite professional. Sorry I don't have pics.

Thats wicked, I've got the hayman reese towbar with the big ******** in the back end of the car. A very good idea!

The rear lower skirt on my pursuit comes off with just the twist of 2 clips, I just had a Hayman reese heavy duty towbar fitted (2300 kg) fitted to totally sit behind the skirt. To use the bar I have to take the skirt off and slide the hitch in, when not using the bar, skit goes back on and no sign of the towbar at all

They're very common in the US, some even light up.
