Yao, being an ex-New Yorker myself, I would say for the amount of work you are getting done and the fact that it is (I think) in the metropolitan area that price is not unreasonable.
Front fascia is a fair amount of work in itself, add onto that the hood, rear fascia and spoiler. If it's a good shop that does good work, it's probably worth it.

Labor on the front facia is super easy, it's a matter of like 6 screws and changin headlights, 45 minutes, tops
If you are uncertain of the deal get another quote and go from there

Yao,
That is pretty reasonable. I paid $300 for my entire install (front bumper, grill, lights, and hood). I paid $300 to have the bumper painted and $250-$300 for the hood to be painted. so there's $900 right there. I didn't do the rear bumper so I can't comment there, but it should probably be about as much as the front bumper, plus you are having the spoiler painted. I say it's a pretty good deal. Just make sure they are reputable........I'd ask for some references or at least look some of their work. Being that you are in NY, I would really expect it to cost more up there. Post pics as soon as you get em!!!!!!!

I have to say that is a pretty fair price for paint and labor. If they do you a good job it worth the money. 
Remember the average labor rate at body shops is 50-60-70 bucks/hr depending where you live. It racks up quick.
