small update:
I checked the connection for the rear autoshade. Seems like there's a circuit board that allows voltage and switches the polarity of the voltage that goes to the motor. There's also a microswitch that tells the board when the shade is fully retracted. What I decided to do is remove the board and the microswitch. I plan to use the same wiring set up that I will use for the power folding mirrors.
Here's pic of the board.

The reason that bodykits and parts are more expensive here is the shipping. International shipping is ridiculously expensive unless you buy in bulk but even then it's still not cheap.
Hope this answers ur question.

I like the idea of the rear sunshade cool set up! But i'm not digging the placement of the switches. IMHO I think you could've done a cleaner look
