Take a look at this photo I took of the back of mine without the plate installed.

Cant see flickr at work but it comes with deep screws to reach the metal bumper that is inside the bumper cover. Is it the best solution? maybe not but a strap on one just doesn't work.

I mean this whole assembly is under 25 pounds with my bike (carbon fiber) as well the weigth is being held by the strap that goes to the trunklid. Heck the picture they have is on the back of a Lotus!

And yes we have seen the tow hitch on the car. I am NOT installing tow hitch and cutting a chunk out of the rear diffuser for it. This is something that can be removed and is practically gone aside from a little box at the bottom of the plate.
