thats why you get a quote before you get the work done. The fact that you "agreed" to get it done is what the problem is. They did the work, they can't go back. But that is a complete rip off man, no doubt at all about that.

You don't understand bodyshop charges, they charge supplies as labor hours as well, not just actual work done

nothing you can really do bro, at most you can try to negotiate the price, but they already did the work, so theres no turning back. Next time just make sure u get a final price before you get it done.

How much did you spend on the skirts? Unless it was a really good price, the cost of purchasing new skirts and having them repainted for $400-500 is going to end up being more than the $710. Chalk it up to experience and install them, they'll look sweet, and you'll forget about how much you paid for them in a few weeks
