Yeah... there really is no "retrofit". They simply took out the guts (mainly, the pieces you're looking at for $326, etc, and stuck a plastic trim piece in their place. Should be easy enough. Being a body guy, you'd probably have no trouble fashioning your own trim pieces, actually.

I like the look of the flaps better, myself... but, heck, if it came down to having to replace them and staring at a $1000 price tag to do it... I'd probably forego it and go for the trim pieces.
