I installed my hidden hitch today on my SS I can tell you that the hitch does push up a bit on the rear fascia. The part of it that faces directly down to the ground so it is virtually unnoticeable unless you are lying on the ground under the car looking out towards the rear.
The install was easier than I expected. Car is only 1.5 months old so the exhaust drop was a piece of cake. Fishing the bolts thru the frame was MUCH easier than I thought it would be. I watched the video on youtube and they make it look harder then it is. (Not that the video is that hard anyway)

OK so it took more than a day or 2...
Looking at the back of the car from standing position....

A close up of the hitch looking down at it...

Laying on the ground and looking at the underside of the bumper fascia...

The last picture looks more dramatic than it really is but it does make the fascia much more stable.
