Default Trailor Hitch Setups

Hi Folks,

Can you point me in the right direction here.
I'd like to tow a tiny boat behind my car every once in a while.
I'd like to have a nice hitch put on that doesnt show if possible.

I had one on my RX-7 but I forgot the name, it was completely hidden and bolted on without messing with anything.

Subscribed! I'm thinking of doing this myself but not sure if I should do it on my SC. I want to install a bike rack. What brand/part is that hitch?

I made my own from 2" square stock and a reciever with a removable hitch/ball deal.

I bent the 2" square stock in four places to clear the spare tire well and then welded it to the factory tow hooks.

lol, seeing as how surprisingly ghetto/stupid things some SC owners do to their cars, a trailer hitch seems normal

Do you want to buy the hitch from my car. I removed it earlier on in the week. Won't fit with the new body kit. So it's for sale.
