Very easy to find. Most rust repair panel places sell it, and Rock Auto does have a listing for it. It's $170, but shipping is ridiculous at $94 (to me in RI, may be less to other places).

I didn't realize rock auto charged so much for it. That sucks, I was going to try to replace mine soon but I can't pay that much.

I'd like to do that too. Only rust I've seen on mine is the radiator support and a tiny spot on one fender.
