Compatability of the Curt # 11483 Hitch with a 2005 Nissan 350Z

Question:

I have a 2005 350Z with a stock exhaust and stock rear bumper. Does the Curt hitch fit this car with the usual notch cut in the bumper cover?. The pictures look like a different bumper cover than my car and possibly an aftermarket exhaust.

The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 11483, is designed to fit the 2004-2006 Infinity G35 and Nissan 350Z, except the 2005 anniversary edition.

As long as your vehicle has the factory installed exhaust and rear fascia the hitch will fit. Installation of this hitch does require cutting a 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch square in the center of the lower part of the rear fascia. The cut area will not be visible from the rear of the vehicle under normal conditions.

Some items you may need to complete your Class I towing setup are listed below.
