Yes, both the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13277 and Draw-Tite trailer hitch part # 76076 require fascia trimming on the 2019 Audi Q7. Both installations require the temporary removal of the bumper beam as well to get to the install location. This is required because both designs have a concealed cross tube that only allow the receiver portion of the hitch to stick through the fascia for an OEM look. The Draw-Tite option does require about an inch less of fascia trimming compared to the Curt otherwise the installation is the same. I have attached an installation video for your reference and the fascia cut out instructions for both hitches.
