Kit item deletion credits.

Like many, I'm anticipating deleting a number of items from the "standard" kit items to upgrade to other items. I'm aware the actual credit for deleted items is less than the "Van's Store" price. Does anyone have fairly recent credit amounts for these big-ticket items? I'm evaluating what the $$ impact would be to deviate.

Main wheels and brakes and Nose wheels => I'm looking towards Matco

U 15X6.0-6 (MAIN TIRE 6 PLY RV-10)
U 15X6.0-6IT (INNER TUBE MAIN RV-10 )
U 5:00X5-6 (6 PLY TIRE MAIN GEAR)
U 5:00X5-6IT (TUBE FOR 5:005-6)
U NW501.25 (NOSE WHEEL W/BEARINGS RV-6/7)
U-00011 (GROVE WHL&BRK 6X6.00 )

All transparencies => I'm leaning towards tinted Cee Bailey windows

C-1003-L (Left Door Window)
C-1003-E (Right Door Window)
C-1004-L (Rear Left Window)
C-1004-R (Rear Right Window)
C-1005 (Windshield RV-10)

Cowling, Looking at either Sam James or maybe ShowPlanes:

COWL, 10 BOT.IO-540
COWL, 10 TOP.IO-540
COWL, 10 INLET LEFT
COWL, 10 INLET RIGHT
 
Not a complete list, but I do have the transparency costs

C-1003-L (Left Door Window)= $160 Credit
C-1003-E (Right Door Window) = $160 Credit
C-1004-L (Rear Left Window)= $137 Credit
C-1004-R (Rear Right Window) = $137 Credit
C-1005 (Windshield RV-10) = $582 Credit

Of note, factor in shipping costs of large transparencies from Cee Baily. Likely a few hundred $ additional.

I bought Cee Baily windows in 2020 and paid $160 in shipping. They were an excellent fit with very little adjustment needed.

I deleted a bunch of stuff from my finishing kit. As a reference I received $135 deduction for C-1003-L, but the store price at the time was $223. Count on about 60% of the online store price for refund amount.

Welcome to the -10 build process.

I'm still waiting on my finishing kit and these are the credits I have on my order acknowledgement:

U 15X6.0-6 (MAIN TIRE 6 PLY RV-10) $73 each
U 15X6.0-6IT (INNER TUBE MAIN RV-10 ) $39 each
U 5:00X5-6 (6 PLY TIRE MAIN GEAR) $80
U 5:00X5-6IT (TUBE FOR 5:005-6) $48.50
U NW501.25 (NOSE WHEEL W/BEARINGS RV-6/7) $124

C-1003-L (Left Door Window) $146.52
C-1003-E (Right Door Window) $146.52

These numbers came from my fuselage order acknowledgement back in December of 2019 so they are probably no longer accurate:
C-1004-L (Rear Left Window) $123.75
C-1004-R (Rear Right Window) $123.81
C-1005 (Windshield RV-10) $440.47


I asked about credits for removing the engine cowl in August of 2019 and this is what I was told:
COWL, 10 BOT.IO-540 $805
COWL, 10 TOP.IO-540 $913
