Agreed, sometimes its actually easier to just piece it together piece by piece. some of the after-market pieces fit so bad, making your own can save you some aggravation, as stated, this will depend on your skill level. If you are contemplating doing this work yourself, you probably have the tools and ability to do it. Patience is key here.
