I don't typically, but it was touchless (except for gas lids lol) and too cold outside for me to hand wash it.

Yikes man, I would never have guessed it would cost you $300 though! For a plastic lid? Quickly looking at it during fill-ups and washes, the thing looks like it's just a painted piece of plastic that screws right on. $300? Damn.

If it's not pre-painted then a huge part of the cost is going to be paint. Setup/prep work is what takes the most time with painting, so a body shop has to charge a lot for even small jobs.
