Hidden Hitch on G35 Coupe?

Well, I have searched and searched....and I have come to the conclusion that I am searching for something that doesn't exist.

I am looking for a Trailer Hitch for my 2006 G35 6MT that can be installed, but hidden from plain view. Possibly under the license plate? I know many on here have hitches that mount below the bumper that you need to cut out a small piece from the bumper.....but that doesn't appeal to me at all. LOL

So I look to you guys for guidance. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Links? Etc....Thanks in advance!

The G itself doesn't have a hitch, but there are a few companies that you can buy the brackets and everthing for the hitch installation. I think it's between 1-200 bux. There have been threads on this site before about this. Run a Search!!!

I seriously dont think that you are gonna find a hidden hitch for a coupe because the bumper support (impact bar) runs back in there but Im sure you could make one work get hitch for a car, fab up some custom mounts weld those on then bolt it up, then use this http://www.stylinconcepts.com/parts..../categoryid/25

I want a hitch on my G...so I can get a hitch mounted bicycle rack and possibly even get a single rail motorcycle trailer for my street bike. I don't have another car/SUV, so this is the one....it will work just fine!


BTW, thank you to those of you who had some relevant information...hopefully I can have something custom made.

I have one on my 05 sedan and I love it. There is one available for the coupe too and the install is even easier i think (involves zero drilling)

Does it involve cutting a small notch out of the bottom of the bumper? Link?

Thanks for the input!

Why don't you guys read my thread....I am not looking for a normal hitch, I am looking for a HIDDEN hitch. One that you don't have to cut the bumper, etc. But thank you so much for being kind.

I found this kind. You can take the attachment off (with the ball) so it is hidden when you are not towing anything.

SCROLL DOWN

Yeah, thanks for the information. That is the Curt hitch...the same one in the thread posted above. If you read the Notes, it says "Minor Fascia Trimming Required.".

I might just come up with something that welds, bolts, etc. to the bumper beam....and pops out behind the license plate.
