Rep Power: 0 General car upgrades, 99 HX manual
Hello,
I've recently purchased a 99 HX. Car is in decent shape tho I'm looking to upgrade a few accessories. These include
1. Keyless entry system
2. Paint touch up for front, rear bumpers, hood
3. Spoiler
4. In car entertainment
I've gone around to 3 different body shops and dealerships nearby, and so far the price quotes for the paint touch ups (needing to sand, re-prime, repaint) are around $1000-1400. For the keyless entry, they gave me a quote of $187.74, and I have yet to get the quotes for the other 2 items.
Therefore, I would like to ask for opinions and recommendations as to whether these quotes are decently priced. Also, what kind of price range should I be looking at for these items? I am a car amateur and would not be confident about DIY at all. I live in central Kentucky if that helps.
Thank you very much in advance!

Welcome to the forums! To start, I would use a site like carid.com, autoanything.com or some other online parts store to look for ideas on accessories. I got a good deal on a radio and XM installation from Best Buy as well. Post some pics of your new ride!
