I doubt it needs padding, sounds like a cop talking out his arse to me. My factory tow points are solid metal without padding and only sits 2" behind the aftermarket one. If it protrudes on yours though, that'd do it.

so just a quick update,
this might sound weird and hard to understand but ill try explain it haha

going to america for feb, have been saving for that for a while, which means no mazda mods. and if i go on the forums or look at my car all i want to do is sell my life to modify it. so i havent been on here at all or touching the car so i dont have the urge to spend on it. so just so u know this thread isnt dead, it will return , just when i dont need to save for anything else. so untill around march goodby!
ps. hope everyone had a safe crissy and new years. bring on 2015. :)
