The installation looks great, but one thing to decide is where you want the electrical connector for the umbilical cable. I was already using the Blue Ox 6-wire cable and the installer and I decided it would look better to put the socket in the black bumper cover rather than on the painted piece above it. This means that the socket is slightly tilted downward and I have to stoop down to plug the cable into it. The cable stays in place fine from friction and I haven't felt that plugging it in is all that difficult. Putting the socket on the painted trim would have resulted in it being hit if you bumped into anything.
