Insane Acura accessory price increase

So I dropped my car off today to get some parts installed that they couldnt get cause it was on back order.

I was originally gonna buy the splash guards and put them on myself, but out of sheer laziness I asked them if they had a set in stock to install for me. They called me back with a price of almost $350! Now I reviewed all the prices when I bought the car last month and I KNOW the price was $218. Called my sales person and got the updated price sheet for accessory installs: it is disgusting!
  • All Season Floor mats
    • old price = $204
    • new price: $308
  • First Aid Kid (lololol)
    • Old price = $32
    • New price = $47
  • Steering Wheel heated
    • Old price = $740
    • New price = $1149
  • Crossbars: $382 --> $580
  • Roof Rails $692 --> $1047
  • Trailer Hitch: $362 --> $556

Oh I know they have mark up, it's just robbery. That is not a normal price increase, it's just taking advantage. Though they claim those prices come from acura. Who knows if that is true, but I just purchased the stuff I was debating incase a big increase hits the OEM sites too.

Oh yea I got them for the same price and I'm gonna install myself. These prices are the "installed" rate with labor. Totally insane

Try mentioning Acura eStore ship to dealership, and they should be able to adjust the price back to msrp.
