Do you guys think this is a realistic price or he is shafting me like there is no tomorrow?

BTW, he says that the shadowline will look BETTER in matte instead of gloss. He did put up a small sample of both matte/black on the shadowline and I really liked how the matte look. I'm confused now. The kidney grills will be gloss black. The mesh of the lower bottom of the bumper will be matte black, so is a matte shadowline the way to go? Or is it Gospel, that if the grills are gloss, the shadowline has to be gloss as well?
Paid 100 here in RVA. Matte. I think Matte lasts better but I don't know why I've heard that somewhere. I like the look of Matte on my Space Gray. Can take pictures after work if it helps.
