Really? Where did you see $45? Last price I saw was over $100 for a repro. Maybe supply caught up.

Yes, we do sell parts. We are distributors for several major vendors. We sell at a bit of a discount from the catalog prices and cheaper shipping.

Do you know if any of the major vendors has that plate? I think that may be out of production.

I think he knows to check eBay since that's where the pic came from!
Looks like The Last Detail has a good price to me.

The two plastic tabs on the bottem broke off... Last owner (bubba from HELL) damage!! and there is no way to secure the bottem of the bezel. When you drive the bezel moves around...
