Default is $1200 to shave your door moldings on a 4dr teg too much?

i was quoted this price when i called up body shop, and they told me $1200, i was shocked that it costs this much, i have a 4 dr too, but still, thats quite a lot, for those of you who know more about this or have gotten your door moldings shaved, how much should it really cost? i just wanna be sure i don't get ripped off, please help...

yeah for that price it includes everything, they say they gotta repaint the whole door, is this usually how its done? cant they just paint the part that they take out and blend it in to match the door?? i mean $1200 to shave the door moldings, sigh...

You could buy a lot of performance parts for $1200. Who cares about some stupid door moldings? They protect you from getting dings.

Are your door moldings body color? Mine were black, and I spent $200 to get them and the stock side skirts painted to match the car. Looks a lot better and significantly cheaper than getting anything shaved.
