    I have the factory installed hitch, but yes a Thule 2-tray bike rack is what I use mine for.

    Yes, certainly was a little nerve racking but not bad at all. There is a little piece of trim you need to pull back to get the wheel well liner off. There are clips here that may/will break but Renegade Ready gives you extra in the kit. I didn't break any on one side and 4 on the other!
    Definitely by the trim removal kit.
    Cutting the hole in the bumper was the most time-consuming part. Mostly nerves as its a one shot deal. However, it was not really bad at all.
    Even if you are not going to tow I'd get it! Looks a lot better than the big-ole-bumper!
