lesson learned
I needed some parts replaced on my 98 converible. Center air dam. Rear splash sheild and a new center consol clasp. The Chevy dealer was $200 more on these simple parts (installed). So before you have a dealer do work, you may want to go to a VetTech type shop

The items you mentioned are not difficult at all to install. But, you are right, you can save a lot of money if you can find a shop to do the work other than a dealer.
