I've got an Audi S4 and a tow truck for daily use! I just did this for some extra advertising, my car ALWAYS grabs a ton of attention. Good or Bad it is advertisement.

Nice advertisement, let's folks know he's capable of towing "high-end" vehicles? That's what I would think.

Nice looking blacked-out FRC too.

Good way to advertise his business - As long as it's not painted it can be removed easily.
