+1 on the OEM parts, they're not difficult to install either and as far as bang for the buck goes, it's one of the most cost-effective Mods you can do that creates a BIG visual difference! 
Good Luck!

Just take your time and do one piece at a time. As you take out one piece, visualize how it would go back. Also, you can always reference the other door on helping you see how it goes back on again.
If using the OEM shadowline, study the piece first and see how it would snap on to the door where the original was. When I did mine, the clips on the new piece matched where the clip was located on the old piece so I know where to stick the screw drive and use it to to tap the old piece out.
