Towing Hitch

I've been looking around for a hitch to install on my TL temporarily to haul my stuff from where I am to school. I was looking for a Class 1 Hitch (max 2000 lbs), but I was wondering, althought i've found a few, what available hitches are out there that are actually good? Even more so, how much is it usually for a place to do an installation? I was looking to see if this could be a DIY project, but I have yet to find any instructions on a self install. Any help anyone?

i did some reasearch for hitches, so i could find a way to carry my bike without scratching the car. After searchin here i found this place

http://www.hiddenhitch.com/ Click on fit guide then do hitch selection and it will bring up the one for your car after you fill in the info.

Its a class 1 and requires no drilling. Its barely noticable and works with the stock oem lip kit.
I think i saw them going for around 150ish on ebay.

Nice, I noticed hiddenhitch, but I was unaware if it'd be a legit thing or not. Now, does the hitch usually come with the entire kit or just the hitch alone and you'd have to buy everything else seperately?

^ now THAT is awesome. What's the recommended speed for towing a compact trailer a decent size for our cars usually? I'm sure there's a speed you can't exceed, but do you do it anyway sometimes?
