We had a friend with a shop install this baseplate for us in just one day. He said it was fairly easy but there were gaps in the instruction sheets. But all in all was fairly easy to do. We didn't install the cable safeties as the directions desribed due to the frame that the cable was supposed to wrap around was not in evidence on this car. We have towed the Soul several thousand miles without a problem. Very easy to hook up to the motorhome even my wife can do it. When not in use it is hardly noticeable on teh front of the car. The light connector reciptical was really tight against the license plate and I had to cut a small simicircle out of the bottom of the plate to make it all fit. Maybe future mounts for the recipticals could be moved down about 1/2" for a better fit. There were offsets in the kit do do this without the need to cut the license plate but we installed the reciptical several weeks after we did the base plate and had forgotton about the offsets and at the time it was easier to notch the plate than it was to find the offsets.
