Very good IMO, the wing must come apart for prep and paint and since I've mounted 2 nismo wings, there is significant labor involved, plus paint it'self today is not cheap.

I think the wing itself usually runs about $300 without the painting - sounds like a good deal for the genuine one. When I got mine the sales guy told me it was a $600 option (including painting) but he talked a big game so I am not sure how accurate that is - fortunately I got him to throw it in free of charge.

Call around but remember installation is kind of a pain.

300 sounds pretty close to what all dealerships are asking. When I had that wing, the local Nissans were asking about the same price for installation.

Whoops - my bad. Sounds about the price my dealership would've charged after buying the wing, but they never gave an "official" quote.

You may get a better deal at a local body shop. I got mine done for around $150.
