Installing Blue Ox tow plates
Just bought a tow plate assy for my 07 Pontiac G6, looking for someone in OK to install it under 500.00. That's what I'm getting quoted, which seems high.

Install was about $500 here when I checked a couple years ago. '07 Malibu which is the same platform as the G6. I installed it myself. The whole front clip has to come off, bumper, grill, headlights, air damns. Inner fenders have to be popped loose as well. Then you have to cut the lower air damns to fit around the base plate. Drill holes through the 'frame', it's not really a frame. Snake some nut plates up inside the frame to screw the bolts into that hold the base plate. If you're handy you can do it but it's not a trivial task. At least not on the Malibu and I'm sure the G6 is pretty similar.
As a note, I do all my own vehicle maintenance. Brakes, oil changes and much more. Just a reference point when I say it's doable but not trivial.
