$288 is nothing compared to what some people on the forum have had to pay; look in the 04-08 section, there's prices way worse out there.

It's not bad when you understand that some have had problems with plugs breaking off in the aluminum heads requiring a lot more labor and parts to fix.

Not sure, might work? I kinda doubt it though... i actually sprayed the lip of the track the plastic slides on.

The door panels on the 04-08's are pretty easy, once all the screws and speaker is out you basically just lift the panel straight up. The "tabs" are actually hooks, molded on the panel that hook onto the metal of the door.

Installed some auxiliary lights for backing up at night. 55w rectangle lights.(4"x1.5") I used a switch with a relay. I didn't want them to come on every time I shift into reverse. I mounted them on the shackle bracket but I'm not happy with them there. I have dual exhaust so my tips block some of the light. I'm thinking about moving the lights to on my hitch. I wanted to keep them hidden. I guess I can't...

Just took a couple, I'll get more tmw in the daylight... U can see the exhaust tips blocking out a lot of light, you can even see their shadow on the road...
