While waiting on some supplies to come for building a temporary coroplast belly pan and diffuser, I installed a hitch, rated for 900kg/2000lbs. The receiver bar mounts sandwiched to the end of the frame rails, and has braces that extend underneath and forward to prevent twisting torque. It has a clever extendable (and removable) receiver, that I plan to leave detached most of the time, to shave a bit of weight. When not attached, nothing hangs down under the car in the airstream. Total weight is around 10kg (22lbs) with the receiver elbow attached, a bit less without (didn't weigh it).

I got some good underside pictures as well, to better plan my pan.
