There is no cutting required to install the Curt Hitch item # C25FV on your 2024 Mazda CX-90. There is a small panel beneath your bumper cover that you will remove and not reinstall that will give you clearance for the 2" receiver. If you wanted to reinstall the panel you would then need to make some cuts in it so it would fit around the downtube of the hitch but this is not required.

I have linked the installation instructions below so you can see what I am talking about. It's covered in step 1.
