Expert Reply:
As far as the appearance panel is concerned there are two options when installing this Draw Tite Hitch part # 36513, you can either remove it all together or you can trim it. When they installed this hitch in the video you referenced on the 2012 they chose just to remove it.
You could definitely reinstall the panel when you install this hitch on your vehicle as long as you trim it like the installation instructions recommend.
