ABSTRACT:
A faux vehicle grill component includes an elongated body panel having a pair of receivers or connectors at spaced apart locations therealong adapted to lockingly receive a pair of spikes or prongs from a tow bar connecting system protruding outwardly from the grill area of an associated vehicle to be towed. The receivers or connectors are laterally adjustable relative to each other along the body panel as well as laterally of the body panel itself in order to accommodate different or varied spacings of the spikes or prongs. Releasable fasteners are used for selectively securing the associated spikes or prongs to the receivers or connectors. Installation of the faux grill component eliminates a potentially hazardous condition that exists when the spikes or prongs are exposed during a non towed condition of the vehicle.
