Default trailor hitch on a delsol?

i'm having some trouble tracking down a trailor hitch for a delsol. has anyone installed one? i was hoping to get a hidden hitch but i don't see any applications for the delsol.. i do see ones for all the civics tho.. does anyone know if the hitch for the civic hatch can be used on a delsol? pretty much everything else from a hatch transfers over but i've never installed a hitch so i don't know how they hook up and whether it'll work or not.. does anyone know? i did see a picture of a red sol on this board a couple weeks ago that had a hitch but i didn't look very closely at it.. i don't remember who's it was but there were 3 or 4 pictures of it on the track and i can't seem to find them now..

Try these guys. Seems like the hitches would be the same for all Civics. My old sedan hitch works on my coupe but what do I know.

I've got a Draw-Tite hitch on my 96 Coupe you can see it under the bumper so it's kinda hidden but try this site for what your looking for. Costs me $89.99

==> http://www.etrailer.com/

All the other parts you can pick up at a local U-Haul store for real cheap.

Draw Tite does make a hitch for the Sol, bought mine from them directly off their web site...

was $93 including shipping and went to the local trailer supply place and bought the powered tailight connector for $19...

was relatively easy to install after the rear bumper was removed...

Yes on the hidden hitch 1.25" receiver style ...It was definately a Draw Tite...

You might want to try Suburban caps in Old Bridge NJ. I think they found me the part number,then I ordered it drop shipped from the manufacturer from Draw Tite directly. I may have even gotten it from Suburban, and they had it shipped for me...I honestly forget the details, was 3 years ago and I sold the car. File went in the garbage...

Hope this helps a little more...
