I've attached some photos so you can see how the # e98912 is going to look like after you install it on your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek Limited. These photos were submitted by another Crosstrek Limited owner who confirms it's a perfect fit and as you can see, the only visible portion is the receiver. The cross tube will be pretty much hidden behind the rear bumper for a nice, OEM look.

I've attached an installation video we did on a 2019 Crosstrek - the steps and finished look will be the same as yours. And if you plan on towing a trailer, I've attached a link at the bottom which will show you my recommendations for the rest of the parts you'll need to complete your towing set-up.
