With that said, I am going to make it fit. However, it is going to require some considerable work.

Don't go too crazy modifying an existing one. You can do a new one with about $75 of material and a few hours of work. We were going to modify a 350z hitch, it ended up being more expensive than building one from scratch.

btw, the g37 or even the 350 hitch should fit if you are willing to cut your rear bumper. You have to cut the bottom portion of the fog light off in order for the hitch to come out properly

I have done one better… Or so I hope…

I am in the process of modifying the bumper bar to make my receiver hitch fit. At this point I am past the point of no return…

I will post a DDIY (don’t do this yourself) if it works. Pray for me…
