Default Ridiculous price quotes on accessories you got from dealers

Hello all. I was just wondering what are some of the ridiculous price quotes that you got from the dealers for accessories. Here's what I have:

$135 JUST FOR LABOR to install wheel locks.

$5,000 for the 19-inch F-Sport Full-Face Forged Alloy rims.

This is just for giggles. Whether you went with it or not is strictly up to you.

F-sport Springs:

My local dealer quoted me $275 per spring, plus an additional $250 per spring to install. This would have been a total of $2,100 for Fsport springs! I told them that they were mistaken and it should be $275 for the set + $250 to install all 4, but they assured me that their pricing was correct.

I ended up buying the set for $210 from Lexus of Westminster and having them installed for $200 at a private shop.

$1800 for the GFX full body kit bought and installed. I told them I work at a dealership and they said, "Ok, $1500." How about... NO!

$600-$800 to put in a isf replica front grIlle. They said that the bumper had to be removed for them to do this. I found a DIY on here and did it myself. Got done in 15 min without removing the bumper.
