i just ordered one from that ebay seller too. I'm going to take mine to a dealer for the install, why take the chance and mess it up? I've read quotes for dealer installs for 50 bucks.

$50 for an install at a stealership? that doesn't sound right...

but with those riv-nuts... it's going to be a PITA without the proper tool.

unless you have the tool for it, it's not going to be any easy at all.

appear to be oem one, painted and come with manual, bunch of nuts and riv nuts, 4 covers, template, etc.

I thought there's a way to just install using 3m stickers? did anyone installed without riv nuts?
