The fixed-receiver Model 3 hitch is a rack-focused option that mounts behind the factory bumper beam. The rear fascia and taillights are removed for access, the hitch is integrated with the bumper structure, and only the centered receiver remains visible after reassembly.

1. Preparing the Rear Bodywork

The trunk trim and taillights are removed carefully so the bumper fasteners and electrical connections can be reached without forcing the painted fascia.

2. Removing the Rear Fascia

The lower panels, wheel-well fasteners, and bumper retainers are released in sequence. The fascia is supported as it comes away so the paint and parking-sensor harness are protected.

3. Releasing the Factory Bumper Beam

The original bumper beam and its mounting hardware are removed while the rear body flange and sealing surfaces are inspected.

4. Integrating and Centering the Receiver

The hitch is positioned with the factory bumper structure and aligned evenly across the rear mounting points before the structural hardware is tightened.

5. Creating the Hidden Underside Clearance

A measured opening is made only in the underside panel where required for the receiver. The visible painted bumper surface is not cut.

6. Reassembling and Inspecting the Vehicle

The fascia, sensors, taillights, and trunk trim are restored, then the receiver is checked for centering, bumper clearance, and secure accessory-pin access.

Finished Appearance: The cross tube is concealed behind the bumper, while the fixed 2-inch receiver and safety-chain loops remain visible beneath the center of the fascia. Customers who may tow should choose the hidden Stealth towing package instead; the Stealth wiring hardware cannot be added to this standard rack-only hitch.
