Yes, good approach. Personally, I think this part is the worst aspect of Mopars if you are trying hard to have it look good when you're done (yours looks great). I really don't like the coupler cover design at all. I think it was Steer & Gear who sells a good alternative for this problem area.

Those wire clamps that used to be available OTC work very nicely, but still make it difficult to end up with a scratch free result. Its really best to put it all together and then paint, which is not what I did when I did the two I did last year.
