Question Removing OEM Rear Spoiler

I'm looking to ditch the OEM rear spoiler on my 03 TL-S. My question is what is a reasonable amount to spend to get the job done correctly? I assume this means removal of spoiler, filling in four small holes, repainting entire trunk, and clear coating. I mean, I'd rather not have it on there, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg to get it done, either. Thanks for any help on this one................Doug

Thanks for your response. Yeah, some guy quoted me $250 which I thought was a pretty good price, but I don't know how reputable he is, and I don't really want to trust my car with someone I don't know. The dealership where I got my car does body work, but I suspect they'd charge a lot. I will investigate to find out how much. If they'd do it for $300 I'd take the plunge. Maybe I can sell the spoiler on ebay to recoup some of my loses. By the way it's SSM.................

That's a good point that I hadn't thought of. Guess the only disadvantage would be that the numbers would no longer match...
