Trailer Hitch & MUGEN Rear Underbody Spoiler

Does anybody know if a trailer hitch like this would work on my 2011 Fit Sport with a Mugen Rear Underbody Spoiler? I think the Mugen Rear Spoiler comes down lower than the stock rear bumper so it might interfere with the trailer hitch. Can anybody confirm this or not?

I don't think it'll work unless you cut a hole for the receiver into the underbody spoiler. Mine is visible but I don't have the Mugen kit so just eyeing it, it doesn't look like it'll be clear without any modifications.

Yeah I think you're right. I was looking carefully at the YouTube video of that Mugen Rear Underbody Spoiler being installed at College Hills Honda.
YouTube - Episode #162 - 2nd Gen Honda Fit MUGEN Rear Underbody Spoiler

At 5:43 on the video the Mugen bumper looks to be about 2 or 3 inches lower than the original bumper. See how the left faux exhaust port is just below the original bumper. Looks like i would need to modify the Mugen bumper by cutting a hole in it where the rear hitch connection would need to be. Fortunately that part of the bumper is black so it would better hide the hole and the hitch poking out the hole.
