Front Mount Hitches?

What have others done for front mount hitches? I've seen some that drop below the bumper but kind of like the though have having it mid way in the bumper (requiring cutting of course). Just curious what others have done.

What year? The early EXs have slightly different front spring hangars and can use those mounting bolts to run a front hitch that had the receiver just below the bumper, the later rigs use a hitch that has the receiver in the middle of the bumper, no cutting required that I know of for these.
