The price varies depending on whether or not you already have the colour-match Aero kit or not, because there are fewer pieces to paint if you already have the Aero kit. (I think you have to paint 6 pieces if you have the Aero kit, instead of 14 pieces if you have the standard bodywork.)

I think for people that have had the work done by a shop, the price generally falls in the $1000-$1500 range.

Your're welcome. Also, I should have mentioned that the number of pieces I said would have to be painted (six versus fourteen) was for the first-generation cars. The cost to have the trim painted shouldn't vary much between the first- and second-generation cars, though.
