Hey guys, anyone install a trailer hitch from FM? Am I not noticing something or are they making me drill new holes in the frame to attach the hitch? It says in the instructions that I need to drill out the existing factory "nutserts" that hold the tow hooks in place which I did. But when I went to bolt it up the pattern is not the same. Not even close actually. Drilling new holes would solve the issue but the pictures they provide online and in the instructions dont lead me to believe that. Tried calling them but they are closed for the weekend. Anyone know off hand if they sent me the wrong part or did they update the part and not the instructions? The car is a 95 and it what ordered for a 95 in case you are wondering.

Mine bolted up fine. I did have to drill out the nuts in the frame on the passenger side. Drivers side was fine though.

Can you post pictures?

The more I think about it the more I believe they sent me a hitch for a NB which has the tow hooks on the back part of the bumper. Looking at the NB picture onlin of their hitch it looks more like what they sent me. In the instructions for the NA it says you wont use the top stud of the tow hook, just the lower one and the two threaded nut holes which you have to drill out. Well what they sent will bolt up to one of said fasteners they refer to in the instructions. So unless they changed the design, they sent me the wrong part.

Yup. Definitely something wrong with that hitch.
