I had a quote from the local Chevy dealer for a new one painted for $125. I think the part itself was about $85, painting was $40. Mine got bumped, chipped a little, and "dented" just a bit when a car parked a bit too close.

There are a 2 or 3 on eBay right now. Pretty clean looking too, for $30-$40, something like that.

I bought mine on ebay for $25. Just have to watch there and the parts for sale section here in the forum. GM dealers claim it's an $85 part unpainted.
