So, I did the RST trim swap today. Cheapest place I could find the parts from was Tasca. Their price was better than GMPD by maybe $20-30 shipped to AZ. I found very little info online about the removal and installation of the pieces, so I thought I'd share my findings...
Here's the legit actual part numbers needed. The VIN at the bottom is from a black RST.
Starting from the back, this piece is the easiest. Four clips hold it in. You're bound to break at least one of them so don't plan on salvaging the original. The new piece is on the left.
Rear door: you need to remove this screw. It's a T-15 torx.
Same for this one on the inner part of the door.
Remove the phillips screw here. It is for the vertical black piece, which needs to be removed to access the upper molding.
