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.

Oh, so my bumper hangs down a bit farther? That makes a bit of sense.

Also, feel free to post my pics elsewhere! In fact, I posted them on LS1tech.com in a thread where guys were saying that they "cried every time they saw a hitch on an LS1". I simply told them, well you can't see mine, so I guess you won't be crying!

Finally, I'll try to remember to take pics of the underside tonight.

Well, to quote Mitch from many moons ago, "are you going to rub it or race it?".

The hitch is butt-ugly. It helps that my car is black, and I used Fender washers to adjust the tild and tuck the receiver up a little closer. The twin giant tailpipes on my Magnaflow catback help hide it from the side, but they are ugly too IMHO. The hitch is still clearly visible from the rear.

But, the bottom line is that I need the hitch to haul my race tires and tools. Gazing and polishing doesn't make it faster (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

BTW, the Magnaflow is designed to use the same mounting holes as the hitch, which doesn't work. I had to bend the hangers into pretzels and fabricate some brackets to make it all coexist. Luckily my brackets ARE hidden.
