Got around to installing the hitch after spraying with bedliner.
Turned out well. I need to figure out how to secure the muffler on one side cause it doesnt play well with the STi muffler.

Bought this bike rack so I can carry my bike to work and ride before or after.

Misson accomplished.
Also installed the STi rear sway bar.
New vs old bar.

XT vs STi sway bar mounts.
STi is way beefier and shorter.

Added on these whiteline mount reinforcements, got em for half price off a guy on NASIOC. The XT has issues with breaking the tabs when a larger bar is added. I picked up some STi arms off a budy for cheap but installing those will require an alignment so for now the tabs will do.

STi

Nothing special here with the bushing brackets. XT has a tab onnone side and a bolt. STi has bolt and stud.

All in all I am like $75 and a 12 pack of new castle into this rear sway bar for a 3mm increase.
Very anxious to see how the car feels.
