Sorry for reviving a dead thread here, but I'd love to see a picture of an R with one of these Curt hitches installed. Anyone?

Here is a photo I took during install. This is very easy to install on a pano roof with crossmembers. only mod was that I had to cut out about 1.5"x6" of the bumper cover. Step 1. take off the exhaust tips with metric allen #2 Jack up car put on stands. 3# pull outer stock bumper bolts and rear crossmember bolts and the bumper cover bolts #4 Temporarily install the hitch. (note it is not necessary to remove or cut the black plastic protective cover) #5 the bumper cover will need to be pushed out of the way to temporarily install the hitch, mark the cutting location. Remove the hitch, cut the small amount of bumper cover out of the way. #6 Install hitch, torque bolts, reinstall exhaust tips then lower vehicle and drink beer. 45 min job max!!

Those instructions are pretty accurate! I had the manufacturer instructions and printed out the instructions that the guy with R500 did, but these were the most accurate. You don't have to drop the muffler or take the trunk pan off. Not sure why those are in the instructions.

Took me closer to an hour or so, but that was after the tour of local hardware stores to find the right hardware - my hitch didn't come with any of the bolts, etc!! So that took another hour and a half. I had to install it temporarily, because it needed to haul some bikes. But I called the manufacturer and they sent me the packet of correct bolts, and I'll swap them out this week.
