Default Just get them to paint it and install it your self. It's very easy.

Paint alone will prolly run you anywhere from $200-$350.

Default Oh, no. Replying to paint post...Paint on the rear is gotta be easier

because there is nothing to mask off. Install I've heard is easy, but no first hand knowledge.

Paint work was 8 out of 10. I ended up taking the whole car to a shop to get some insurance work, and they ended up re doing everything anyways (doh! but got reimbursed by insurance for paint work, though). Find a good shop that will shoot it for you cheap.

Shop labor is generally $35-65/hour depending on quality.
