The shipping will usually cost as much as the hood insulator. If you have a favorite GM dealership, you might be better off ordering directly from them.
Or, try this site. They supply lots of parts for the '94-96 Impala SS cars and support their forum. They're in TX.
I ordered a hood insulator for my former '96 Impala SS from them a couple of years ago. It's twice the size of a C5/Z06 insulator. Their shipping rates were very fair and they didn't fold the insulator in half like some vendors do to save shipping...

Just make sure to inspect it before you take it away from the dealership! It can get creased in shipping.

Try your local dealership.

Or try gmpartshouse.com and see what it costs with shipping to compare.
