Default Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch on my 96 Honda Civic EX

This is more of an FYI for future searching as I couldn't find much when I was looking up info...

I needed a trailer hitch for my civic so I could drag a trailer from Ohio to Florida. I looked at a few hitch manufacturers and decided on Hidden Hitch.

I ordered the trailer hitch (w/receiver), a 2" hitch ball and the electrical wiring from hitchmart.com and received it the next day (great service!).

installation was a breeze. it uses existing holes in the frame, as well as, the existing towing hook (no cutting of the fascia or anything either). it 'hugs' the car very well and is probably the least noticeable of all hitches on a civic.

here's some pictures:





After I drag the trailer, I'll either remove the hitch and post it for sale, or i'll get a bike rack sleeve and use it for taking our bikes over to Sanibel/Captive Islands

hope it helps someone!

I'm thinking to buy a "hidden hitch" for my 98 Accord 4-cyl. They have only one model for my car: Link
(http://www.hiddenhitch.com/Products/...?HitchID=60913)

I searched the web and found that most retailers sell hidden hitch (for Accord and Civic) with a 1 1/4" ball. But my local UHaul trailers need 1 7/8" ball and up. My question is did you get a larger size drawbar for your 2" ball, or you just used the original drawbar came with the hitch?

Thanks!

Yes, this is an old post, but it's the only helpful one I can find about hidden hitch. Actually I had thought about PM supadupamikey since this post is so old. But I guessed this topic might interest other guys too. If you guys think it's so silly. Please advice the smart way to ask question here. Thanks!

it seems like 50% of pics on H-T, over a year or two old, are red X's. where are people hosting their pics that they don't last?

Also, when you do a search for an item, looking for some pics, a bazilion FS ads come up, but nooo, when the item sold, the seller deletes the pics, and replaces them with 'SOLD', pisses me right off. And the little camera icon was still there beside the thread title, telling you there's pics there.
