Then, I found a part for $139.00 (I'd have to order it and pay for shipping)
Painted for $125.00 (another day or so plus the wait time)
Installed: $45.00 (Craigslist guy and he claims he works for Chrysler and but when I called the number he gave me, the person who answered said no one by "that name" lived at the number...red flag..red flag) Though I may have mis-dialed and the lady told me I had done so...when I called back, I got what sounded like the same lady's answering machine)..???

Total:
Total $319.00

I would save $80.00 ...over the dealer doing it all at one time. No brainer...I just spent my Christmas bonus.

Minor scratching on side of passenger door, too...my husband said that when the dealership called, they "may have mentioned that they could take out the scratch marks on the clear coat and the mirror for $400.00...but, he can't really remember because he was on the other line....argh! He just happened to mention that to me tonight...

I can't stand the duct tape..it's killing me!
And your decision was...??? Are you going with the dealer or the "put it together yourself" deal?

I'll bet the duct tape is holding everything togther just fine
