My ex mother in law did something to that effect. I tell you what I told her, back in the 70's they made flip down license plate holders. Mount your plate on a flip down, install a receiver hitch like you see on trucks equally to were the plate would open. Then get a reciever that will work with your application. Basically, your car would look stock, untill you want to move your bike. When you want to move your bike, you flip down the plate and put on your reciever into your Hitch. Any U haul should be able to help you out. If they wouldn't help you go to a body shop or lowrider shop. It is common for lowwrider truck owner to use this set up.

You should find by either reading your owner's manual or checking with your dealership's warranty person if by adding an aftermarket hitch and rack to your new vehicle puts your warranty in jeopardy. You need to make sure that it is installed by either a Honda technician or an approved one. You've spent a lot of money on your new vehicle so rather than take a chance on an after market product play it safe and check with your dealership first.

]]> Comment on Does any company make a trailer hitch to fit a 2006/7 Infiniti M35? by ddcalny http://www.hitchmountedbikerack.net/does-any-company-make-a-trailer-hitch-to-fit-a-20067-infiniti-m35/.html/comment-page-1#comment-51 ddcalny Thu, 24 Jun 2010 18:54:46 +0000 #comment-51 I don't see a hitch listed for your vehicle with Draw-tite or Curt. One option for you would be to contact a certified welder and have one fabricated for you. You can find the tubing here: http://store.drawtite.com/3006.html That's for a 1 1/4" x 1 1/4". I know it probably sounds expensive to have it made, but there are a lot of local welders that have good pricing. I don’t see a hitch listed for your vehicle with Draw-tite or Curt.
