youve got a point ryno although the trunk mounts sometimes cause paint damage an my paints still pretty good aside from someone keying my trunk so i wanna keep it that way if i can. an a hitch looks silly on most cars so imo who cares. if im gonna use it which i def am then i dont see why not esp for the price i paid for it. 40$ but i havent mounted it yet so who knows maybe ill reconsider when i actually hold it up there and see how it looks.
