$2200 is a very good price,
The front bumper painted is usually at least $1500 with tax, and the side skirting painted is at least another $1000. (assuming both are factory parts). shipping both would cost at least another $150. Looks like you are saving $300-$500 depending on how expensive painting in your area is.
Also, buying them prepainted takes out all the leg work of having to schlep the parts to the body shop. You can install both yourself in about an hour or two.
You will probably want to get the factory clips for the side skirting and a few new wheel well liner clips in case you break the old ones when you remove the liners to remove the old front bumper.

Thanks Perfectlap! Dayton from DPS told me that the skirts come with all of the hardware (clips). I'm assuming they will be factory clips, since the skirts are factory. If not I'll get some. I need to use the "original" screws and wheel liner clips for the bumper though...the new bumper doesnt come with any hardware. I'll definitely buy some new clips....I dont wanna reuse that stuff....good idea!

Mike - I got your PM and PM'd you back.
