Beware if you are installing this on a 2006 Infiniti!
Curt lists this a 90 minute project for DIY'er or 45 minutes for a professional, but this claim is in my opinion is fraudulent for two reasons. First, there are four holes that you must drill into your aluminum tube bumper structure of which two cannot be drilled with the bumper cover in place. Second you have to fish hardware through the end of the aluminum tube bumper structure. Curt does provide a nice wire form that would make this easy if there were not obstructions in the tube. These obstructions plus the lack of access to the end of the tube make fishing the hardware through the tube pure fantasy.
If you purchase the Curt Manufacturing 13558 Class III Receiver then plan on removing the bumper cover. The project is more likely going to take 6 to 8 hours. You will need good instruction on how to remove the bumper cover. If you remove the cover the project is very easy, but removing the cover is its own challenge. Also, don't waste your time trying to pry apart the muffler hangers. Just unbolt them it is much easier and there is no risk.
The quality of the receiver and hardware is top notch. I have no problem with the actual product, but it should not be sold as something that is a 90 minute project.
