I went to get a touch up paint bottle for one of my trucks. $18 at the dealer, $6 at Autozone. Same supplier. I went with the $6.
Same truck, needed a rear diff cover gasket. $27 at a dealer. $10 at Autozone. Just a simple rubber gasket.
Gee I wonder why the aftermarket does so well?

I got my touch up paint from Classic Chevy for $12.95. Still local parts store is probably cheaper but I wanted to make sure to get the right color.
I covered up my "Airbag Warning" messages on my sun visors with vinyl. I heard that if you are in a wreck and the sunvisors have to be replaced that it is mandatory for the paintshop to put the stickers back on.
