pricing question

does $1300-1500 sound too much to do the following:
-black out tail lights w/ paint not film
-black out side view mirror markers and side markers
-black out front grill
-black out rear emblems (guy told me he would order new ones and paint those)
-black out trunk chrome piece (right above the license plate)
-black out chrome pieces around the fog lights

i was thinking about doing all the chrome pieces matte black, what you guys think??

its a 60000+ car - sometimes more money is better, and if you dont like it you have alot to ***** about and for that money they would probably fix it. if you pay 300 and hate it well i am sure your going to be looking for the expensive guy to try and fix it...
