Those guys are selling the trailer hitch for $1182 where my dealer's selling it for (if I remember correctly) $745 plus five hours of install (and it has to be dealer installed) to the tune of about $1400. So if I got it for $1182 I'd still have to install it.

As for the extra chrome <BLING BLING!>, how hard is that to install?

Got mine from Park place also, (above link from blittle). As my son would say, it's "wicked easy" to install them, clean, peel and stick, that's it. 15 minutes.

I don't think so but I'm too busy looking at the reflection of the ac duct on the window when looking in the outside mirror! Seriously I haven't noticed it but I'll look later on my way home.
