just wanted to show how clean and easy my new curt 1 1/4" curt hitch was to install, over all took about 45 min. No major problems other than a few stubborn clips. An interesting note, inside my bumper cover there was a moulded support that interfaced perfectly with the receiver to I can only assume add some extra support to the cover and prevent rattles. I still had to cut, but with that as a guide, a lot less than the recommended 2 1/2" circle.

I tried it with a Saris Thelma bike rack and it is rock solid!

The hitch was from auto extras for $121 with free shipping.
