Default Difference between gt and gt/cs rear?

I really want to get a hidden hitch so i can tow my two little jet skis to florida but all the ones i see say not for gt/cs. Why is that? it doesnt seem to be a whole lot different dimension wise. Can someone explain the difference or point me to gt/cs hitch

the GT/CS bumper is designed similarly to the shelby GT500 bumper in the fact that it has an extra black molding underneath that adds to its aggressiveness sorry i dont know how to describe it exactly... lemme find you some pics

i have the cs rear so i know what it looks like, i just dont understand why a "gt" hitch wont fit, the bumper doesnt seem to sit any lower, but its been so long since ive had the gt rear i dont recall

It is lower by an inch or so.
That means the hitch support will interfere.

I'm sure a shop could modify the GT hitch for a reasonable amount of money, if no CS is available.
