do it right or don't bother for one thing, and yes, 1k for that is absurd. Unless they're using lead and welding the holes shut, sanding down the trunk to bare metal and sanding it to perfection afterwards and taking like a week for the trunk and a week minimum for the front bumper, and preparing your car to compete at the Detroit Autorama for the riddler award or some ****, then a grand is nuts. Sounds to me like they don't want to do it so they priced themselves out of the job and gave you a price knowing it would be too high, shops do that all the time here, I got quoted almost 900 dollars to install my rotors/pads a while back, and another shop telling me they wouldn't do it as it was a liability, even though the parts I used were name brand and superior to their top of the line "brands" they offer etc etc. Find another shop that wants to do it for a fair price, or just live with them. Putting tape over them or plugging them is sooo lame, please don't do that to your car, driving a 30k car with 2 dollar pieces of tape sticking otu the back?...c'mon man..seriously.
