How do we attach the Trailer Hitch on the BUMPER PERIMETER using hardware that must remain inside the BUMPER PERIMETER? I can't see any way to follow the rule and meet the requirement in this GDC answer. Before I submit my own question officially, I wanted to find out if I was overlooking something that others see as an obvious option.
