I did an aftermarket hitch which I like much better as it does not require cutting of the bumper and would then also fit under the msport bumper so you didn't have to butcher it! I have one of the hitch steps in it, but you can still see how it is lower than the bumper itself!

rob, your X looks MEAN from the back. What kind of wheels and spacers are you running?

Those are stock 20" 214's with the standard 315 tires and 15mm spacers, they get the wheels out just about flush - I could probably go 18mm but anymore would get the tires out wider than the flairs.

Is there a place to mount the harness plug?

What brand is that hitch and where'd you get it? Reasonably priced? Thanks!
