2004-2007 G35 Bike Carrier Hidden Hitch Receiver

I have search and searched and search:

(it remains visible when in use and you have to cut a knotch in your bumper and it says something about stabilizing straps?? ) http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/gr...splay_1000.jpg )

(This is for the sedan and the hitch still shows)

(This is exactly what I'm looking for but I do not have the expertise to this, I'm going to attempt to contact the guy who made this but in the mean time I'm going to let this thread run it's course)

so now I am going to ask for assistance. I am trying to find some sort of BEHIND the license plate hitch mount for a 2007 G35 COUPE. I want the hitch mount so I can bring my road and/or mountain bikes with me on trips. Ideally I would like the hitch mount to be able to support some weight so I could perhaps mount a luggage carrier or something else there when I'm not using it as a bike rack. The goal is multi-functional and aesthetically pleasing when not in use meaning no notch being cut in the bumper/ no evidence that a trailer hitch is a part of the car.

I saw the roof rack option here:
https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...k-g-coupe.html
which is a great option and it looks really good but I'd rather do the hitch mount because then I can unplug the hitch and easily connect it to my lady's coupe car (which will eventually have a hitch too if I am successful). Also I'd rather have a hitch because I've definitely dropped a mountain bike on the roof of my old car and if I did that to the G, yeah..... and also with a hitch mount my friends who are 5'4" will be able to mount the bikes without any assistance.

Any helpful comments will be greatly appreciated. I hesitated to post this because every time someone does the trolls come out and tell you search before posting (I have, look above) and how ugly it will be and how you should just go out and purchase another car (I have a beater with 350,000 miles and a roof rack on it, but who wants to take that on a vacation) or should have thought about this before buying the car, but hopefully if we find the solution, this will be a win win for everyone because it will be hidden behind the license plate, so when not in use, the plate will cover all of the evidence. Thank you in advance for all of your help. Also if the solution does exist, I promise to take plenty of high quality pictures and link to them in a fashion that they will still be searchable for years to come. I will also include model numbers and contact information and any other relevant information so that the next person who searches this topic will easily find the answer.

Did you ever install a rack?

Not yet, searched for quite sometime. Even contacted someone on another forum who had achieved exactly what I was searching for but I received no response.

http://forums.mtbr.com/car-biker/pro...ck-692353.html, #5 above in my prior post was what I had hoped to find for sale.
