When installing Curt trailer hitch # C11576 you will need to remove the tie down bracket from passenger side frame rail, trim a 4.25" x 2" portion from the heat shield and trim a 4.75" x 10.0" portion from the underbody panel.

I attached pictures of the trailer hitch so you can see how it looks. There are also pictures of the hitches installed on the Camry in the attached instruction manuals (see attached). No trimming or cutting will have to be done to the body of the Camry, all trimming and cutting is done under the body, therefore leaving the outside appearance of the car intact.
