Home depot.

I forget the sizes. I got mine in those little drawers with all the special metric screws and grommets and stuff. They were little white push in plugs that fit perfectly. I painted them with touch-up paint.

Then i decided my car looked better with the spoiler since it wasn't lowered..lol

ask them if they will come down on the price if you take the lid off yourself, and bring it to them, so they dont have to tarp the car.

worth a shot

i'm not a paintsniffer so i don't know the first thing about bodywork, but i do know you can get a better price if you can do some of the prep work yourself

They will also blame it on you if anything happens down the road. (i.e. peeling)

Yeah...I've got the painted plugs in the car right now. I'll see what I can do. I just can't believe that it is $500+ to fill and paint.

mine was $300 but the guy scratched the entire deck. looked like his final polish was done with a weed-eater.
