Has anyone...
Has anyone...
Removed a trailer hitch on their Cayenne? I might be in the minority here, but I have no use for it and want to take it off the new GTS. I think it looks better without it. Searched, but came up empty... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to the thread referenced above...
As far as the hitch removal, it's easier removing... than adding IMO.
First and foremost, locate a forum member that has the 'bumper beam' laying around after installing a hitch kit.
Otherwise, you'll have to locate an OEM part from a Porsche dealer/supplier.
Next:
See the below link for adding a hitch kit...it should give you an idea of what hitch install entails.

I have limited experience since i added a hitch kit to my CTT.
I wish i had kept the structural beam for instances like this where a fellow 6speed'er needs the part.
Good luck and great car!

Next:
- Remove the bumper, unbolt and remove the hitch
- Add the vehicle bumper beam to the location previously occupied by the hitch
- I would suggest leaving the wiring kit, or if you have to, just remove the 7-pin connector. I cannot think of why this should require reprogramming or needing further removal.
