It is just a tow point, no other use.

Holy crap, I just looked at mine and if you need to cut it off for clearance you must be going really low, it only sticks out about 20mm past the beam!!!

:P
being a youth..i got 185x50's on the vw 14x6 rims...the wheels are small...
and i want to dump it...i will eventually put 60's or 65's back on...but for now...i like how it looks...ruins the mileage...speedo is out by 20 k's...but it reallly looks cool
even better when lowered..
does that mean i can cut it off?
