Paint prep Q's

Ok so got a few quotes today for paint and they are within my price range but in order to save myself some coin the general message I got was the more work i do before i drop it off for paint the better the price. Im not talking about the actual paint prep but the removal and instillation of parts so the shop isn’t spending time taking these things off because time is money. I made a quick list but want some input from our members

Things I have and would put on:
-Drivers side door
-rear bumper cover

Things that would come off:
-Spoiler
-Taillights
-rearview mirrors
-front and rear side markers
-antenna
-front grill
-plates
-front emblem

Also since im gona put my bumper cover on should i just take off my ground kit too? Im gona have that sprayed with a flex agent in the paint so there are prob gona have to take that off anyway.

The shop is about 5-10 min from my house so i think ill be able to get it there without any trouble from the popo. Ill have at least one friend drive with me in his car in front of me; someone behind me would be nice too.

So what do you think? Anything else I can do before I get the final firm quote to help me out?
