trailer hitch on a 3 5 door

I am about to have a small reciever hitch installed on my 3. Anyone have one yet? I am only going to tow a small utility trailer that will come in at a total of maybe 500lbs. Any thoughts?

Be very careful when towing. These cars aren't made to tow too heavy. Also don't forget that when you have passengers and towing means extra weight. I had a friend back in the days who killed his tranny (non mazda) because he didn't consider passenger weight. You want to tow around when you don't have passengers or one at the passenger side.
