(More customer reviews)Well, if you decide to go with this one, let me save you some serious time and frustration. Ditch the instructions, your not going to get the plate or carrige bolt through the frame end without taking off the bumper. It doesnt say that, it just says to put it through the frame end where it bolts to the bumper one assumes, but this is not going to work. Here's the trick to get it installed in 45 minutes. Jack up the back of the car, I used a floor jack in a garage on the steel cross support. Disconnect the rubber hanger from the muffler at the rear of the car. Unbolt the muffler from the exhuast flange (two bolts easy access) drop exhuast leavng the forward muffler hanger on, it will twist out of the way. You now have complete access to the muffler heatshield, take it off(very easy to do, 5 or six nuts 10 mm). You know have complete access to the frame. You will see a large hole with a small hole before it, and another after it. Drill the small hole (at the rear or bumbper side of the big hole) to the threaded bolt size ( match it up against the bolt ) so that the bolt will fit through the frame (carrige bolt, round head with square base) now, file or grind the rounded bolt head enough so as to fit it into the large hole. Do not insert yet. Take the metal plate with the square in the center ( to accomodate the carrige bolt ) and file or grind both sides so as to also fit in the larger hole (in frame) It will not require much. next fit the rectangular steel plate with the square center hole into the frame via the large hole. Use your finger to slide it into place ( it will make sense ) when you have it in place insert the fish wire (round coiled end to thread on to bolt) which comes with the hitch up though the hole you drilled out, through the plate you just inserted and out the big hole. Thread the wire onto the carriage bolt whos head you ground to fit through the big hole. Pull the bolt through and it will pull allong right through the frame, through the plate and out the drilled hole. This is really fast and easy. now, the rest is really quick. from here you can follow the directions. cut the heatshield with tin snips where the new bolt comes through the frame ( this is like heavy duty tin foil, very easy ) install heatshield. put center bolt through the tow loop, slide hitch ( muffler side ) into place with bolt going through, add nut ( do not torque anything yet ) attache other side with two bolts into frame ( frame is threaded to recieve bolts, easy ) tighten everything up, bolt muffler at flange, re attach rear rubber hanger, and your done. Follow these instructions and you can really do it in 45min without crying. I only gave it three stars because the instructions were crap. Once installed, it's fine, I use my accent to haul a single place snow machine trailer, guess what? works GREAT!!! ( actually I enclosed the trailer and use it to haul whatever) 4' by 7'. The hyundai is torqy, needs a sixth gear, but pulls this trailer great.
