General hitch info: BRZ / FR-S

Thought I'd share this with you all. I got the DrawTite hitch made for BRZ/FR-S. HiddenHitch and Curt also make hitches for our cars now. All look very similar.. that is to say quite awful. There will be a very visible bar hanging about 2" below the bottom of the bumper, spanning nearly the entire distance between the exhaust tips, but hey.. if you want a functional hitch with 200 pound tongue weight, this is the way to go.

I weighed the hitch.. it's 18.6 pounds. Not completely terrible, especially if you offset the weight gain with an aftermarket exhaust

The bad news for me: The particular hitch I got was flexed so much out of shape, that even after flexing it back out as far as I could, the holes were still off by an inch. This doesn't mean they're all like this, but it's worth knowing about it.. you may need another pair of hands to install it.. or just pay a pro.

Here's what it looks like, off the car:
