from the inside....it dosnt realy block your view
the hinges
these next two pics are of how we renforced the mounts with angle iron ( just to be safe) it is hard to see though
some more info is the trailer hitch reciver is built into along with the 7 pin plug and the two halogen lights are also ( there brighter than my head lights) we foam filled the ends to keep the water out and minor trimming was needed on the plastic end caps beacause the stock bumper is round and this one is not.
