Question mounting spoiler on RX300

I just bought a new spoiler for my RX300 and I went to my local Paint and Body and asked him to mount it. He offered to paint and mount it for 100 dollars. I personally think he is asking too much. Is that too much or the right price for the job. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.\

sincerely,

$100 today doesn't seem unreasonable for a Lexus. I had one installed at the dealer on a new car without one and I think it was about that, or more. More importantly imo is to make sure you get it done right if you're keeping the car long-term. Seals tight, rustproof the bore, etc.

I think that's a bargain. $100 for paint and mount.

Make sure the paint matches the rest of the car before he mounts it. Also he's going to have to drill. So make sure he rustproof the holes. Good luck and enjoy the spoiler.

Default RX300 Spoiler

100 dollars is a bargain. I just put a spoiler on my 300. 3 of the 4 holes I drilled were perfect. The forth needed a dremel to bring in.

Automotive grade silicone in holes before screwing in spoiler is a good form of rust protection.. Easier than touching up the drilled hole with paint and waiting for it to dry.
