$800 to paint and install lip kit in NJ?

I'm just wondering how much did you guys pay to get your lip kit painted and installed? I found one asking for $800, is it reasonable?
Thanksssss

it all depends on the quality and how flus they can fit it with the install. if its the urethane/ plastic it should be cheap. i mean you can save some cash if you get the c/f lip and install it yourself.

kit painted and installed

I went to high tech auto modz to get my lip painted and installed. The shop quoted me $200 , and another $200 for spring and camber kit install. The paint job was ok not smooth/even (can see some sections have a little more paint), the lip kit installation was fine for the front and rear, but the sides came a little too short, they were struggling to put that on.
Spring installation was ok but when I turn my wheels all the way to the right I hear *thub thub* sound, I guess they didnt line up the mark. Well I'm gonna get a tokico blue after the stock one blown, so I'll leave it the way it is for now.
Here are the pics with lip kits and lowered, I know I need some wheels and tint (need time to save up!!):

I was waiting there but I spent some time at a mall close by.

I'll be going back there this Saturday to pick up my old parts (springs and camber, I was rushing to go home last week, when they were done it was almost 8:30pm ) Maybe ask them to check my front suspension which is making some noise when I make right turn.
