your integra is going to be tight with a trailer hitch. i always liked them and thought about putting one on my car, so i could fully exploit all of my four bangin torque fury.

I have one from Hidden Hitch on my stock '96 GSR. It hangs a few inches below the bumper cover, but isn't too offensive if you have a dark car. It cost like $70 without the ball. Just a note, this is not a good tow vehicle. I bought mine for a 4X8 utility trailer and just the 300 lb trailer is very noticeable back there. At the time with had the GSR and a SH, so the GSR became the tow vehicle. We have a Tahoe now and let's just say there's a slight difference when towing.

Actually I disagree... The Integra does just fine towing. I tow my Waverunner with it (900 - 1000lbs with trailer) and it handles the task flawlessly. The brakes are good enough, the engine is responsive enough, and it has no issues towing. I would actually say that it tows better than my old Maxima with a V6. My RX-7 also did a fine job of towing my Waverunner. I will agree that bigger is better, but the small cars seem to handle it just fine too.

I have a 94 Integra with a custom receiver behind licence plate, can not tell it is there at all when not towing, had a shop custom make the the "hitch" to replace the read bumper beam... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal #18 then sold the beam for more then the hitch cost, cut the plastic on clip behind licence plate to get to receiver mounted plate to square stock to fit reciver and added a reciver to ball mount to put plate into when towing. 94
