I've looked at other threads on this topic. But none seen to have the answer to my question.

I know many of you have done the work yourselves. But can anybody tell me about how much it would cost to buy (new, to make it easier) the front and back Euro bumper, airdam, (+whatever hardware) and have a body shop swap them out + stick on the front airdam?

I guess the airdam would be black or else painted body color.

$500-$600 materials & $300-$400 labor? Anybody wanna guess?

$325 for the front and rear bumper from BavAuto =$650 + shipping =$700

They are easy to install requiring some slight modification to the front brackets.

I would not like to think about labor of install. If you want to pay someone to do it, it would be cheaper to fly me out there and I'll do it for food and beer.

Yup, Typhoon that's me.

Hey blitz, Does that $700 include a front air dam? I'm guessing it doesn't.
I see there seem to be many different kinds out there. Any idea on a price for that as well?

-Thanks

No that does not include any valance/spoiler/air damn. There are only a few front spoilers that are still sold. The Alpina spoiler (see sig) can still be bought new for about $550, and the Korman replica motorsport spoiler can be bought for I believe around $400. Pretty much all others are sourced on ebay, classifieds, and forums.
