One of the problems I encountered was that I can no longer use the inside bracket for the bumper which isn't a big deal. Also, as you can see the hitch sticks out quite a bit more than necessary and I mounted an old Nova flip up license plate holder but it doesn't cover the hitch as a result. I'm going to find a receiver tube and measure how much I'll be able to cut off of the hitch and I should be able to come close to hiding the hitch completely. Also I need to come up with a better looking light, but it works for now until I can get back to it down the road.

I think it looks fine from the back. You probably should cut off the receiver & re-weld it further back, though. You could maybe also, notch the crossmember of the hitch, & inset the receiver tube up a little.
Nice project, & thanks for all of the pictures.
