It's $179.  Once installed there is a vertical metal plate about 5" in size
visible behind/below the bumper (which the hitch ball bolts to), otherwise
nothing visible at all.  I painted mine to match my bumper.  You can use a
file, snips, dremmel tool, etc. to notch the bumper.  It doesn't have to be
pretty because unless you lie under the van looking up you'll never see it.
