Cost estimate on installing S5 spoiler?

Hi, my '88 doesn't have a spoiler. I would like to add the stock S5 style since it looks best. Assuming I buy one and sand/strip the paint off myself including primering it. How much does it cost for a bodyshop to paint my spoiler (paint match too) and install it on my '88? Including labor costs too.

Thanks, was just wondering the total cost before I actually do it.

How about you sand and prime it yourself and take it to a shop just to paint it to match. Then you install it yourself. Cheapest way. Very simple install.

Are you sure? I was told the rear end will have to be drilled through the body work in order to bolt down the S5 spoiler.

Ok, thanks!

I guess I'll just match up the holes. Just another question if you don't mind. How many holes do I need to drill?

I think it's two holes, but I'm not sure. Never taken mine off.
