does the trailer hitch receiver stick out at all from the bumper? - i mean when there is no ball hitch installed in it - could someone with a receiver installed on a 2012 era CS take a picture looking straight down at bumper like this pic? - i'd like to get a receiver but i wouldn't use it much and if it protrudes too much i'd just be banging my shins against it mostly - it looks like there is a lot of room for it to be tucked behind the bumper - would an aftermarket stick out more or less? - thanks

Unless there is something very different on the S vs. GTS, it looks basically flush.

Here's a pic from my 2015 CS. It's basically flush with the back bumper. I actually had to tilt the camera a little so you can actually see the hitch because if I took the pic straight down, you won't be able to see the hitch.
