Napa has the curt hitch for $190 so I snagged it. Install took about 30-35 minutes. It's simple. The curt instructions were adequate.
Get exhaust out of the way(remove hangers), remove heat shield, trim heat shield with tin snips, install trimmed heat shield, fish bolts/plates thru and into position, lift hitch into place, secure with nuts/bolts. Done.
I did it alone. Insert the hitch from behind the car, not from below, and then "hang" it off the exhaust to put the driver side into place. Then go finish up on the passenger side.
The worst part was the 8 or 10mm heat shield fasteners. They're annoying for whatever reason. Also I had like 40lbs of dirt that fell onto me so be aware of that maybe.
