E70 aero kit and after market hitch

[dscharrer]

I have an 07 E70 and was wondering if an aftermarket hitch like Reese or draw tight will work with the aero kit without modification. I know the hitch can be installed without modification since it hangs below the rear bumper. I was considering the replica aero kits and noticed there is some kind of cover for the rear bumper pieces. Is that for after market hitches?

Thanks

I apologize for not answering your question, but if you are looking for a hitch that require no bumper modification or cover try the Execuhitch. I have been really happy with mine.

Is this a straight bolt-on DIY or do you have to hire somebody to do this?

While I did not do it myself since I had exhaust modifications done at the sme time, it can easily be done yourself. Check out the installation instructions on their website.
