I wanted to do the same last year (still want to really) and when I priced them the aftermarket were about the same as dealer or close. I was lugging long boards back and fourth working on my house and really wished I had it then!

It's still in the box in my garage but once the spring weather gets here it'll be going in, I'll take a ton of pictures and attempt a write up...
