The installation look tight (or is that "lit" as what my kids say these days).

What sort of double sided foam tape is that for reference? I'm assuming then that that foam side is what's touching the paint surface?

The OP's installation steps, appreciate the DYI details.

Local dealer service shop quoted 2 hours of labor. Fair enough. But at $165/hr.

I think that alone is encouraging me to give this a go myself.
