Bike Rack on 2006 Civic EX

To carry more than one bicycle at a time on my 2006 Civic EX I needed a bike rack. Here's photos of the installation of the Draw-Tite hitch and Thule 917 T2 rack.

Strapped to the right side of the hitch was a plastic bundle containing a drawbar, installation instructions, hitch pin, and cotter pin.

This Honda plastic rivet could not be fitted back into the vehicle because the plastic shroud beneath the vehicle doesn't quite fit the same after installing the hitch.

The box for the Thule T2 rack is enormous. This is how it was delivered from backcountry.com.

Looking inside of the box shows a few disshoveled components. I believe it had been returned.
