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

Sounds like a rip-off to me.

1. $300-350
2. $320-350
3. $150
4. Do it yourself
5. Do it yourself
