Hitch Removal

[methodmatch]

Xtony sweet, with your aftermarket hitch, how big of a cut did you have to make for your access? I know with my X5 it's not the same cut i've seen on other X5's it's much lower and more under the bumper than the other's i've seen, i'll have to include a pic if the topic demands it.

If I recall correctly, I only had to cut about an inch deep and 6 inches wide under the bumper. Nothing is visible from behind. I think the aftermarket hitches hang a little lower than the factory hitch and therefore none of the visible bumper needs to be cut.
