Couple tips on tailgate trim. Used a small piece of steel speaker mesh behind the tailgate trim clips. This way when you push on the soft aluminum trim, the hard steel clip doesn’t leave a high spot on the trim. The barrel push nuts for chrome above the tailgate handle need 1/4” holes. I use a 21/64” bit for horizontal trim and trim around the tail lights. (OE is 5/16”)
