With my son's 94 CSE it required removing the bumper (4 bolts and 2 screws) but with my 98 CSE its just a matter of bolting the hitch on. I think your 97 body is identical to that of the 98. By the way, the best deal I found on a hitch was from <http://www.bageco.com/>. Their price is less than half that of Saabs and is less than buying it directly from the after market factory (DaLan). They also are one of the few sources of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee which is excellent. The sell a curious combination of products. Best regards, Ramsey Frist
