Like I said, do what you got to do man. I always love when I am grouped into a stereotype 
My hand tools are craftsman, but if I need something that is going to get abused or I do not mind low quality based on how often I might use the thing, I do not see anything wrong with harbor freight tools. I have purchased a set of impact sockets for $15 and I purchased the corded impact gun for $30. At $30 you are correct. If the thing breaks I will chuck the thing. I also have a service set for $40 for ball joints / ujoints that will get abused by the impact gun. And some other odds and ends that were on sale like a security torx bit set for $7.99 just in case I ever need one, and one of the "third hands" for soldering stuff for $1.99. Thats all I have purchased from harbor freight to date.
Ironic... you say you can not agree more with VWandDodge about getting quality, and in his last post he was talking about spending more (buy the $330 dash) that is the complete dash I posted instead of the caps you are finding... and yet you ask is there any place cheaper. If you agree with him so much, throw the $330 on the dash + paint + ship for the dash. Go on, spend the same amount of money you bought your truck for

As long as you follow best known methods they bond fine. Clean the plastic thoroughly, sand the plastic surface with some 60 or 80 grit in order to provide a better mechanical bond, clean the surface again and use an epoxy to wet out the cloth. DO NOT USE POLYESTER. Poly has extremely poor mechanical bonding characteristics. There is a reason it's cheap.
