I am wanting to install a receiver hitch to mount a bike rack on my 07 FX35. The dealer quote for the hitch was $570 parts (too much $$) Does anyone know of a good alt. brand of hitch or where to get the OEM at a better price. I plan to do my own install. Please, any help?

I ordered one last week that was only $200.00. I'm not sure if it is going to work or not yet. I'll keep you posted.

I had a local autobody shop order it for me. It came in but I have yet to be able to schedule a time for the install.

Should be early next week.

It was much cheeper than any I found online and they did not charge me any shipping.

Was there a model name/brand for the hitch? Is it car specific or is it a universal fit? If you don't mind me asking, how much was it for the parts only? Is it a DIY job or something you'd need the shop to install?

I didn't get any details on the parts yet. It is a kit and car specific. I'm not sure if it is a DIY or not. They said on some SUV's you have to remove the rear bumper cover and exhaust.

Did you get any help with this? I'm in the same situation with a 2009 fx35, that I'd love to put a reasonably priced hitch on. Any help and links to where and what you got would be awesome. thanks.
