My pricing was about the same--filler was $75. I haven't had it installed yet, so I'm not sure about the labor price though.

Just got mine put on today...here are the part numbers with list prices from my invoice for the S-line grille with black filler.

8P4853651DVMZ Grille ($186.03)
8P4807287J3FZ Trim ($108.02)

Dealers should be able to beat/match part prices (should be able to get it down about 20%), but their labor cost is fixed and will vary, with a minimum of 1 hour usually -- seems like it averages around $100/hour.

No pictures yet...hopefully I'll get some during the GTG Sunday.

My parts came in yesterday. I'll be getting them installed Monday morning. Guy in service said the install only takes 15-20 mins, we'll see if they bill me for a full hour labor.

SD: They quoted me 15-20 minutes too and tried to charge me for an hour of labor afterwards so MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM that they quoted you 15-20 min of labor if they try to charge you extra

Everything went well yesterday, here are a couple quick pics from today. I went for the S-Line grill...I like the venting better than the non S-Line one.
