Both work great and were easy to install. Total cost for both was around $550 with tax.

Yes, it looks a little silly on such a small car. But you can take it all off in about 5~10 minutes.

The hitch is rated for 100 pounds with a rack. The rack is about 30 pounds. A mountain bike is about 30~35. But we'll see how it holds up long term. I haven't heard anyone else complain though.

How easy is it to pop those knock-outs in and out of the bumper? Might seem like a stupid question, but many that I've dealt with in the past were a challenge to get out without doing some damage. If I went with this hitch (seriously considering) I would 100% only ever leave it installed when I was using it, so those caps could see a lot of poppin'
