Obviously too high could be a bad thing. I would think centerline of gravity would be optimal, but thats just my logical guess.

Yeah I was thinking right above the license plate?

That style looks like a trailer hitch. Believe it or not jegs has a nice kit that you can use or just make it yourself. Make the bottom tether section came out of the center of the bumper and make it removable. Then the parachute mount can be off the license plate section, so your trunk is still functional too

I had one fabbed that looks pretty close to the one you have in the pic but the chute mount is up higher and the bar going to the chute mount itself is set back farther and bends twords the back of the car instead of away, kinda hard to explain, I dont have pics of it on the car on this comp, but I'll try to get one in a bit when I go down to work on it, if you think that might help. Only pic I have on photobucket is how the inside fab work looks that it goes into.

How mine was done. Boxed in the rear "frame rails" where the stock bumper bar bolted in, and ran a bar to each side. The chute is removable just like the one you showed

Re: Parachute mount and location
Here is something I found while I was looking for the same. Ended up fabing up something similar. I don't know the company or have ever purchased from them before.
