Do you have to cut the rear bumper fascia to install this hitch for the 2015 RX 350?

Yes, but don't sweat it.. Just follow instructions..actually two cuts required.

No, only the black plastic behind bumper under the car. After job is done, you can't tell this is dyi job, looks just like the dealers install for a fraction of the cost.

Fits perfectly on a 2013 Lexus RX450 which should be the same as the 2015 RX350. The bumper does not need to be cut but the plastic piece underneath needs to be trimmed as it does with the factory hitch install. I had a company install it in San Diego for $75.00. Go to Curts website and the detailed installation instructions are available. The installation is much easier than the factory hitch install which I think requires the bumper cover to be taken off. The Curt hitch looks great and works well.

I drilled the holes and cut the openings with a saber saw to install the metal plates( used fish wire to pull bolts through as stated in instructions) , took me about 4 hours including removing both mufflers, left them hanging on forward rubber hanger,(mine is a 2011 3.6 liter ( be sure to wear safety glasses lots of metal chips will fall in your face, single exhaust 4 cylinder models are much easier, not sure if original equipment hitch would be easier to install? but would probably be 2 to 3 times more expensive

I believe so, as the 2013 and the 2010 RX350 are basically identical. The installation was very easy and the instructions were clear. Trimming the plastic part under the bumper was minor and easy.

Bumper does NOT need removal. This unit bolts on directly to factory equipment. It takes less than 5 minutes.

No. What's u get the front fender off which is kind of a hastle there is a big bar which is the bumper. Take it off. I believe there are four bolts to take off.

Nope, not at all. Just need to remove the existing rear site and install this in its place.

Theyre actually slots. If you have an older bumper that has ball 3 holes you should be able to mount without any drilling but if you have a newer style that only has one ball hole count on drilling. It would be worth your time to buy a hitch that mounts to your frame. Theyre fairly inexpensive.

I'm not sure about the part #. But this is the original hitch. You have to cut your bumper to install. This bumper slides into the frame of your vehicle. Took me about an hour and a half to install. Works great

I would say no. The Hybrid front grille and bumper fascia have a different shape than the normal LT. The bottom section has a slight sharp angle to it in the center instead of the curved like the LT. I know as perfect as mine fit in and covered the factory grille, I think any difference would not let the insert properly fit and therefore not do what you are looking for.

I don't know if I'm understanding your question right. If I am, that sounds like everything it came with. The connector you buy seperate , all the other parts you need will be there including new plastic rivets for inside the fender that need to be cut off to remove the rear bumper. The bezel is basically a snap in piece. If I didn't answer your question please rephrase.

Yes, just a little to get the hitch to slide in. You remove the rubber stabilizer holding the muffler up.

It does not require it per se. It can be used with or without. If you have the OEM hitch, the reinforcement bar is the hitch. If you don't have a hitch it's probably easiest just to remove it.

No. But it will work well if you know how to install. Remove the bumper first.

You don't need to remove the bumper, but you may need to remove the plastic cover that sits between the bumper and the grill. The instructions said that the cover needs to be cut, but I managed to do it without cutting. The hardest part will be getting the nuts and bolts in place, in the tight small spaces. The bottom plastic under the bumper may need to be removed for easy access to put the bolts in place.

The holes to mount the bumper are already on the frame mount, so no, it does not require the OEM sub bumper reinforcement bar.

Yes, all the hardware needed for installation will be inclosed inside the hitch receiver. Thank you.

It contour the bumper with about a 1.5 inch reveal between receiver and bumper. The bumper tapers down from back to front so it will have a gap between hitch and bumper but it looks okay. Seems to be plenty of clearance from the ground.
