The Nissan cover is pretty sharp, but don't want to over do the logo thing. I saw someone with an Armada cover. Anyone have that? Any other suggestions?

Thanks to those who gave me feedback. The Nissan Cover can be found at http://www.autoaccessory4u.com/nilochpltowh.html for $29.95.
The Batman Cover can be found at http://store.trailertoys.com/pewhitcovhar.html for $59.95.

Sorry I do not know how to post a direct link, but copy an paste should work.

I am also still looking for the Armada cover I saw somewhere.

I saw a Armada hitch cover at my Nissan dealer. I think it was around $30.

Actually, I'd vote "none of the above" if it was choice.

The best idea for a hitch receiver cover is one of the cheap $15 lighted covers that plugs in the trailer wiring and acts as an extra brake light.

A little red plastic square isn't the cool choice, but an extra low mounted brake light might just save your Armada from getting tail-ended in traffic.

Interesting concept, but I don't think that that extra little light will save anything unless the guy behind you happens to be entranced and starring directly at the cover when you slam on your brakes. However, I do like the lighted covers. If they had a cool design, I would go with it.

If you know where to see some of these, let me know. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just recently put on a plain black .. no markings .. hitch cover.

However .. am looking into getting a custom hitch cover made .. so if that works out .. I'll post a pic (if I can figure out how to do it here)

As for lighted hitch covers .. check eBay .. tons of 'em ..

Not sure which cover. MMMMM, maybe the batman cover?
I was actually thinking a about plain chrome cover for myself.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could get some kind of clubarmada logo on a hitch cover! That would be awesome!

I love the concept....blue then red when braking, but would want a different design. Where did you get it? Do they have other designs?

I should tell you guys that I didn't buy either of the covers in the poll. I bought 2 other ones. One is square, black & red and says:
SIZE
MATTERS

The other has an image of a sportbike riders in full lean and it says KNEEDRAGGER under the image.

I will eventually get some pics for you.

OOOOH, doesn't that just PISS YOU OFF! :machinegu
I got a pin with a lock on mine.....HA...they could probably STILL steal it if they really wanted it.
I came home from a trip to find my Acura Integra broken into...my amp was stolen. Thankfull nothing else was stolen. Took my radio out before I went on the trip. You work so hard for your stuff and some DIRTBAG comes along and it's gone...JUST LIKE THAT! :mad:
Isn't it the worst feeeling.....don't you feel violated!

Weezr I was thinking the same thing in the thread that everyone was talking about the ClubArmada decals.
Good suggestion - is this expensive to get made?

Hey guys, look at this:

http://www.off-road.com/rock/logolite.html

It has possibilities, once "the polls" close on the decal/logo issue. Just stumbled onto it and remembered reading this thread.

Somehow I get this image .. of a rear-ender .. as the one following me (you) too close says they were reading the hitch cover ...

:eek:

But I kinda like that idea too ...

Uh-huh, like "Sorry, officer, but I didn't see the little SUV that was right in front of this interesting hitch cover." Maybe we need a much larger hitch cover.
