Sounds like typical inflated body shop pricing to me. Like everyone else says, I'd just buy a used trunk - that's my plan once I find one for the right price. Of course it won't be a picture perfect paint match but if you save enough money doing it then who cares imo, the body shop won't do any better of a job matching it.
Edit: those plugs aren't a bad idea, I did something similar to fill the front plate holes on a boxster that I used to own, they were actually sold pre-painted with factory paint and were a pretty damn good match. Someone could make some money doing that for these cars.
