Well, Perrin kindly states it's all my fault.

I've posted this for others to beware using it for anything other than "show":

This is the loading angle for me, using my trailer and BRZ.


This is an example roll-back trailer they're talking about


It bent from close to stem. I think they just need to upgrade it to stronger steel.



After this issue, painted the OEM unit to black and installed that instead; doesn't look bat at all : )




Anyway, if you intend to buy it, keep in mind you should probably never put any load on it.
Moving on: I'm planning on installing coilovers, race seats, and race seats, perhaps over the weekend. Titan stated they're shipping the harness bar soon (this week), so I'm hoping to install that as well, perhaps next week, and get the car finished for the first round of mods! Looking forward to seeing how it behaves after these..
