Default Looking for Trailer Hitch

So i did a search on trailer hitches and i found some but they all go up to 03. I have a 04 S2000 and i need a hitch for my race tires this autoX season. I guess i am looking for one for an 04 but if anyone has any info thats says that the 03 will fit an 04 that would be great. Photos would help also, thanks guys!!

Bill Gendron makes one also. I think his website is www.smallfortuneracing.com

Chase Race's hitch is superior to Gendron's -- Gendron's bolts to the trunk floor, which isn't designed for that level of stress and will eventually tear. Ask me how I know...

Full disclosure: I drive a Chase Race-liveried car. My experiences with Gendron's hitch predate that affiliation, though.

Another satisfied Chase Race customer here. The hitch Doug makes is exceptionally well engineered(possibly over-engineered but I like it that way), and the design he uses makes it easily removeable as well. I love my Chase Race hitch, although I did modify it sightly to fit my exhaust. The design is made to fit around the OE exhaust. Other dual muffler aftermarket exhausts may or may not fit.

i like how it looks like easy to take off for the track. I guess the problem i am having now is keeping the tires on there through the nights i stay at hotels. :/

I have welded uprights on the trailer with a pipe going through the wheel centers. I padlock the pipe, the trailer hitch, and the receiver. It won't stop someone that really wants them, but it will make them work for it.
