You should look into painting it yourself if you resonably handy.
I recently bought eyelids which came unpainted. I painted it myself using a custom spray paint can which most most automotive paint suppliers will do. Just give them your color code and they mix it up in a can for you. It cost me $25 for 250ml can. I had to also buy plastic primer + clear coat. All up under $50. Very easy to do it yourself, just need a very clean room, free of dust, wind etc.. Turned out great, very hard to tell from factory paint. Otherwise it would have costed me $150 for a pro to do.

Doing this it may only cost you $200 max and being side skirts (very long and skinny) it should be easier to paint.

Mate,

I bought some front lip that I like get done, I tried doing it a while ago and man it turned out crap....
