This hitch is hidden, the ones you can get now show themselves.

Yes, alot of people run this hitch including me. Works great, plus it stays hidden.

If you want to know if it will fit you might have to take some close up pics of the rear bumper and underneath where the muffler is.

well, the hitch sits very close to the exhaust, so it looks like that would fit.

One issue that you might have, the Nismo bumper looks to be longer. The ball might be too close to it. It might work though because mine is pretty long.

After looking at the pics on the first page, the issue I can see is how far out the Nismo bumper sticks out. I supose you could get a longer receiver though.

Any chance for another run of these hitches? Seems like exactly what the doctor ordered!

Pretty much the commercial hitches are very similar to this hitch -- and a LOT cheaper!

What I liked most about it is the fact that it is hidden. With the bumper tuck mod, the hitch hanging down just ruins the effect! The hide-away is a brilliant way of.... well.... hiding it away! None of the commercially available hitches do so, right? Or have I overlooked one?

Thanks,
Brian

None that I have seen.


I have the Roark hitch and have been using it for over 2 years with no issues.

Would you mind asking what he would charge to build a second one? Might save us both some money!

Has anyone received this setup and used it?

I would like to find some info on it. Specifically, do the plate and the hitch have to be specially made?

the pics on the first page show the exhaust on a z with a nismo exhaust. This is what I need. I know this thread is old, but does anyone know where i can get one of these (new or used).
