i can think of a few shops in NY that should be able to do this for about a grand. I am only guessing. But $1800 for just labor does seem a lot.
One Through Five are all DIYs.
1. Repainting my current m-tech bumper (has alot of rock chips.) - approx $300
2. Swapping m-tech front rear and sideskirts on current car with stock bumpers on new car - approx $200
3. Swapping trunks, bc my acs trunk lip is glued on and they dont want to risk taking it off and ruining the paint. - approx $150
4. ACS roof wing removal and install on new car (I could do this myself) approx $100
5. Tint new taillights - aprrox $150
Let's say an extra $100 for other odds and ends. $1000 seems right to me.

Yeah Im gonna try a few more places and see what they give me, bc your right it is pretty much all labor. I would think it would be very easy especially considering fo rhte most part they are all OEM BMW parts
If you need help, just PM me and I'll be glad to help and definitely be more reasonable
