I just received my Hidden Hitch for an '09 RX 350, and am planning to install this week. Has anyone else used this brand and if so, are you satisfied with it?

I'm not concerned about wiring, but more about the looks of the hitch once installed. What are the major differences b/t the Hidden Hitch and an OEM hitch ordered from Lexus?

Responding to my own post here in case anyone else is considering a hitch for their RX. I bought an aftermarket hidden hitch and it doesn't compare to the look of the OEM hitch from Lexus. The Lexus hitch as a little more, but worth it considering that I picked it up from a local dealer to avoid shipping, got the Lexus receiver cover, and it came pre-wired.

Just a note to any others in this situation.

When i bought my 330 back in 2003 of August, the RX second gen had just reached the lots. I asked for a hitch and they gave me the Hidden Hitch branded one because lexus had not had the OEM one created yet.

Let me just say that it gets the job done, but HIDDEN is a misnomer, because the thing sticks up like a sore thumb. It is also starting to rust a bit on the edges. I would also go OEM if i could, but it was thrown in for free when i negotiated it into the car's price, so im not complaining. I can provide a picture when my wife brings it back

I purchased my RX400h from a non-dealership used car lot that specialized in luxury vehicles. They told me I could grab a hitch off another RX if they had one. Lucky for me I found a RX350 that had one. Ask your local used cars lots to see if they'll give them to you for free/cheap. The owner told me people don't usually like to purchase cars with hitches on them since you don't know what the previous owner towed.
