Ground effects paint to match cost?

So my ground effects just came in , I asked how much it would cost to have them painted to match through the dealership...

lookin at about 728 bucks (CDN currency)

Is that not a bit steep? Or is that in the right ball park?

I think thats a bit high, $682 or so US. However it's not out of line by any means. I am willing to pay a premium if I know they do good work.

Mine cost $350.00 at the Lake Wales FL Dealership!
$728.00 is more than double.........way to much!

If that is taxes in that is not bad for BC.

700 for the painted GFx. Dealer is RE-ORDERING mine though. They really gouged up the front piece! On a black or grey car you wouldn't even notice it. But on a summit white. That 1/4 inch gash looks like a 16 year old put those things on with a hammer and nails. I was really upset about such poor craftsmanship. All the body guys keep saying, " so wheres the problem?" I'll get some pics on a dry day.....

Mine was $700 US to paint them...then they didn't install them and gave me back $500 to have them installed elsewhere - and I'm glad I did!

It is taxes included. Actually I got mine through the same dealership you got your car through ( I remember your photo post when your car arrived )

With the exception of the couple on here who seem to have gotten away with bargain prices.. (And the one guy asked for 2 grand "ouch")
I guess it seems within reason by comparisson.

(Although I still think it's steep in general) hehe

Thanks to everyone who replied.
