- 2014 CX5 FWD GT
Brand new owner of a 2014 CX5 FWD GT!
My husband wanted to add an OEM Trailer Hitch and Receiver. Had it done yesterday, but when I got home I noticed THEY CUT THE DAMN BUMPER!! (About 0.75" x 2") .
Our fault for not doing research on trailer hitch installation (bang)(I'm pretty sure we could've gotten an after market one for a lot less cheaper).
My problem is that:
1) even though it looks OK from far away, it's jagged and uneven up close; and
2) shouldn't they have warned me at the beginning, like, "hey, this requires us to make a cut in the bumper of your brand new car, are you OK with that?"
To me, it's like they might as well put a hole in one of the doors. If you're going to make a minor alteration, shouldn't you let the owner know? gaaah. VENT OVER.
Aside from a hitch cover, any advice on how to make the appearance better? Bumper trim (I like this idea)? File it down? Like I said, it doesn't look like much from far away, but just KNOWING they did a crap job on it doesn't sit well with me.
