It's not really pricey if you look at the whole picture. If you buy an aftermarket kit, have it professionally painted, you'll see that you are close if not exceeding the cost of the OEM kit.

Just try and get a smoking deal on the OEM kit...the advantages are obvious, great fitment, color match, conservative styling, etc.
