Hey Marcelo,

Curt has a picture in the instructions showing where to cut the rear fascia on your Aryia, which I've attached a below. Having watched and done numerous installs myself I will say that I never cut the fascia without first holding it up to the hitch (once installed) and eyeballed to make sure that what's in the instructions was correct. I have seen instructions be wrong on numerous occasions so I always play it safe. I typically try to trim a bit less off and get it as close to the hitch as I can to avoid an ugly gap, but the # C64ZV's safety chain loops are likely going to fight you a bit so you'll probably need to cut the hole as wide as they're listing in the instructions.

If you're not wanting a super wide gap you can cut a hole big enough for the receiver tube to pass and then just slits outwards for the loops to pass through. It'll be harder to finagle the fascia back on but it'll look nicer than a large hole.

Since this car hasn't come through our shop yet we don't have photos or videos of the installation process unfortunately. If you're not too far from our Wentzville, MO location we'd love to have your vehicle in to shoot the video for others though.

Hey Marcelo, how did the fascia trimming go on your Aryia with the Curt hitch? Your results could really help others who want a cleaner look around the receiver. Sharing what worked for you would be a big help to the next person tackling this install.
