He asked for the price of the skin, not the entire repair. He's repairing it himself. There would be no need to quote the entire repair as if it were going to a body shop because that's irrelevant.

If we want to be technical about it, you're looking at a shade over $1k if a shop were doing the work. Labor rates, however, are heavily contingent on where you live. So this figure could increase or decrease should you have a shop repair it.

This includes:

FRONT DOOR
- BLEND
- R+I of Belt molding, body side molding, mirror, trim panel, ext. door handle

REAR DOOR
- Replacement of Skin (Edging, inside), iVTEC sticker
- R+I Belt molding, body side molding, trim panel, ext. door handle

Right Quarter
- BLEND

REAR LAMP
- R+I of Right Tail lamp

Rear Bumper
- R+I of Rear bumper (dropping the RT side)

Labor: 8.1 HRS
Paint: 6 HRS
