That's a whopper. I can only guiess that some of the parts are GS-R
specific and very expensive.

Likely, yes. Unless the independent shop is very familiar with the Honda
setup AND uses OEM parts.

You should make sure the dealer is using OEM parts as well. Some dealers
will respond to competition from independents by substituting aftermarket
parts to keep their costs down (the dealer has to buy their OEM parts from
Honda).

That driver's side rust is going to be a problem if the car is ever subject
to rain/snow/dew/splash. It's rusting from the inside and will continue to
get worse unless bodywork is done or the car is kept dry 100% of the time.

Wouldn't we all. I see NSX's come up occasionally at auction. They're going
for over $20K now.
