E90 M Aero Kit Cost

BMWUSA cost for 2006 E90 Aero kit is $1250.Tischner BMW in Maryland on their web site has it for $850. I live in El Paso and they said the cost for shipping is ABOUT $100-140, its 4 large boxes, not heavy but oversized.
So I ask my very good El Paso BMW dealer about a cost break on his price of $1250, telling him of Tischner cost and the fact I would rather support the local dealer. So Tischner would cost me $950-990 plus or minus a few bucks plus tax. I offer my local dealer $1050, I am saving some bucks, spending a few bucks more than the Maryland dealer but supporting the local dealer.
I take the parts to Crawford Auto Body, (Saab, Pontiac, Suburu) where some of the BMW Body guys work when the local dealer had a body shop. They charge me $1038.62 for paint and install.
Picked up car today, its great, no pictures cause I do not have a camera and everyone knows what it looks like.

It's great to see so many modders in the Texas area. It just seems as if you all are spread apart more.

It took 2 days to install parts, but they had it in the paint shop for several days. Time to complete will vary, just depends if they devote 1 guy who has done them full time to the job. Now that Body shop has done it they might be faster. I will try and get the car displayed at El Paso dealer so if any one wants to see work up close they can. Maybe the dealer will sell a few more to other cars.

Would it have been cheaper to just paint it with no install?

Yes I could have had it just painted at the body shop and If had a friend or myself knew how to install we could have save some $$. I am at work now but over half of the body shop cost was prep/painting as I remember.

The whole point of this thread is to let other owners know 1) where it can be bought very cheaply, 2) a way you might be able to get it at local dealer for less than $1250, 3) real world paint/install costs.

I would think that a reasonable talented owner with some assistance could do a install of the parts but if it turns out AFU, then a body shop would be glad to fix the owners mistake for even more $$$.
