Hd grill cost installed

Well last night some little bast*rd egged my black xlt screw on the highway. The egg took the paint off part of the quarter the size of my fist. So the body shop has to paint the whole side of the bed. There were no dents just pieces of paint that came off down to the metal. Well to my question the shop is painting the whole side of the bed for $375 and they ordered the HD Grill for $160 + $40 for the install. Is this a good price. I cant tell my wife I got the grill because money is tight so im just telling here that the cost to paint the side is $575. Hope see doesnt notice. lol

$200 out the door is not really a good price. $160 is a little high for the grill, and $40 is more than I would pay for the install, considering it takes about 5 minutes.

Needed to add its being overnighted so I can get it installed by tomorrow. But Im sure I could have paid less for it if I looked.

I wouldn't be worried about the price of the grille, the 375 to paint your entire bedside seems cheap.

Its Fords body shop but I have delt with them in the past and they do exellent work. No body work is needed, just sand and spray.
