I must be getting jacked on my quotes. I was curious about having my wheels and door handles color matched to my car. $1000, provided I take the wheels and door handles off the car for them. I also decided to find out about tinting my rear windows and a very light tint to my tail lights. $600. So any DIY stuff like Plasti Dip wins out IMO. The only thing I don't like is the feel on the door handles, too plasticy (That's not a word but you know what I'm getting at).

FYI for anyone doing this, make sure you start EARLY in the day if you're going to do your wheels as it will take several hours and painting in the dark SUCKS.
