There is no drilling required when installing the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24776, on a 2007 Honda Fit. It is a bolt-on application. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Hidden Hitch.

I am including a video link of a Curt trailer hitch being installed on a 2006 Honda Fit. The hitch is a different brand, but the installation is the same as the Hidden Hitch.

Some items you may need to complete your Class I towing setup are the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19258, and the Tow Ready Wiring Harness, part # 118420.
