Well, I just got my Hidden Hitch installed. Unless you're looking for it, you can't see a thing. Really, really pleased. Just had to drill 2 holes - everything else was fine. Took probably 2 hours.

Well, I think we need to go with Mitch's source - I bought mine for $60 from a friend. I am going to use it to tow a little 4'x8' trailer to and from events. BTW, did you know that 4 315's will not fit side-by-side on a 4" trailer? They are a few scant inches too wide. So, with 8", I'm just going to lay them down and run a long bolt through the floor and put a locking lug nut on top to keep them secure (and to keep them from getting stolen). I've also got a large 3' high x 4' wide x 2' deep tool box with all my junk in it (brake rotors, jacks, misc. spare parts) that will go in the front.

This thing was EASY to install, too! There are already 4 holes, so only 2 need to be drilled. The assembly didn't come with the wire thingy's to pull the bolts through, so I just used a coat hanger (worked fine). I was actually really surprised at how tight it drew up under the car. There is a plastic cap that is supposed to fit over the end. Well, with it so tight up against my bumper, the cap won't even fit! And, the end of the hitch is about 1mm from the bumper (measured horizontally, parallel to the ground). I really couldn't be happier.
