Default Painted cover on left headlight...replacement???

I need to replace the painted (arctic white) cover on the outside of the left headlight assembly. I opened the hood the other day and noticed it was sticking up higher than the other side. Turns out the small flange (with two screws) was cracked where it connects to the outer cover.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part at a better price than a dealership parts dept?

A painted one would be even better.

Thanks

Try some of the parts recyclers on the left menu and the "Parts for Sale" section.

Also try Gene at gmpartshouse.com - he usually has much better prices than you can get at your local dealership. Just remember that a new one will have to be painted.
