130 for paint?! where do you go to get your stuff painted? installation isnt really that hard, you can just buy some double sided tape youself

Just make sure he got the right paint code. Starfire pearl is very expensive paint.

My 2008 IS is Obsidian and I am about to buy the GFX kit in a different color and have MAACO paint and install. They will charge me $725 for full install including exhaust tips. Is this a good price?

No way dude $725 for paint and install seems a little too far out.
Like everyone else said roughly around $100 per piece, so that's 4 for the full GFX so you're looking at paying $325 more to have a low budget paint shop try and rip you off. Find a shop around your area that will do a decent job for $100 a piece and install it yourself it's not hard at all.

Starfire Pearl requires several more coats of paint than non-pearlescent colors (like black). Therefore, the price is going to be higher if you want it done right.
