After installation of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 65025, you will not reinstall the lower fascia.

I would not recommend installing and removing the hitch repeatedly. It will be difficult to access the hardware each time and you also risk the chance of loosing the hardware.
