Price to paint and install spoiler - Quote of $230

I thought it sounded kind of high - was expecting around 150. It is a DS spoiler - Not much bigger surface area than OEM.

Does $230 sound high? This place is recommended but I don't want to get ripped becuase I have a G and their biggest customers are probably 'stangs and civics 'round here - Thinking I have more money ( I probably don't). I have no point of reference.

Thanks for any input.

Depends on where youre located; in the DC area thats about what I'd expect. You're looking at 150-180 just to paint it, plus time to drill holes and mount.

I think it's about right. That's actually not a bad price.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I am in Tennessee.

This Data Systems spoiler came with what looks like industrial double sided tape. The wing itself has one small hole in the center of it. Should I expect them to drill it on or just tape it? It is fiberglass.

i got the ds spoiler too. i havent painted or installed it yet but from what other here have done i think the double sided tape it came with is more than good enough.

yeah, it is pretty pricey. but at the same time it depends on what the prep is, the type of paint they use, if there is orange peel afterwards, etc.

I am paying 175 to have mine repainted. Recently got scratched on the hwy by some flying lumber. Any way 230 doesnt sound bad for full paint and install.
