The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e55ZR will be completely hidden by the hitch bumper cover once installation is complete. The last step of the instructions note that the fascia has a removable panel for hitch usage and that the panel can then be reinstalled when hitch is not in use. This will allow you to maintain the clean factory look while having the hitch installed.

I have attached an installation video of the Curt # C25VR which has an identical installation process. You can follow along with this video and see at the end that the cover may still be used to conceal the hitch.
