If you don't get a shop discount, sometimes it isn't even worth buying parts at a dealer and installing it yourself. Body shops traditionally I think get like a 40% discount on parts from retail. When I was a kid, we had a very friendly parts guy at a Chevy dealer, who had set up a bogus shop that we bought our stuff through, a very good customer, always paid cash...
