There are a lot of posts on this pricing. You could try the search feature.

My recommendation is to have the dealer do it. Prices for part, painting and installation at dealer seems to have varied from $1,500 to $2,600. The list price of the part is around $1,100 so it's not easy getting the lower price.

Based on your location (NY area), I think you would find it hard to get a low price --- I was able to get mine as low as $1,800 but that was negotiated as part my car purchase. I think the dealer wanted $2,400.
