I paid about $190 for the part (from BMW dealer). It was about $500 for them to modify (3hrs), get painted (1.5 weeks), and install (1 hr). The painting was $175
I realize the prices are probably steep, but the paint shop seems to pride themselves and charge for it. They had painted my spoiler, diffuser, and mirrors and I know they do good work so I didn't want to take a chance. I also had the dealer do all the modify needed and they will have a higher hourly rate than a body shop. Since they could do everything, I let them since I have a great relation with the parts and service people and know that if there is or was a problem, they would help me out.

Still a group buy for a DIY, pre-modified, pre-painted one from EuroRev would be a whole lot easier!
