Expert Reply:
We have not had a chance to install this hitch on a vehicle like your 2009 Volvo S40, but I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said the majority of this trailer hitch will not be visible. The top of the receiver will sit flush with the bottom of your bumper fascia. He did mention that you may be able to see the bottom part of the mounting arms that extend just past the crossbar on both sides.
I have attached installation instructions for you to check out.
If you plan on doing any light towing with your vehicle, I have listed a few more items below to complete your tow set up.

Hello, a follow up question regarding the drawbar. I would like to use the Brophy 5 1/2 rise drawbar (BR39FR). Would this item fit without rubbing the bumper fascia? I would like to have a higher ball height (my vehicle is lowered) but am concerned the reinforcing tab on the drawbar will rub.
