Will I Have to Drill into the Frame of My 2003 Chevy Cavalier to Install Curt Hitch # C11109
Question:
I drive a 2003 Chevy Caviler and every other custom hitch required that I drill into the frame of my car in order to attach the hitch. Will your part require the same?

In order to install this Curt Trailer Hitch # C11109 on your 2003 Chevy Cavalier, you will only need to use a drill to enlarge some existing holes.
You will have to temporarily lower your exhaust, but the exhaust will be reinstalled when the installation is complete. You will also need to trim the heat shield.
