Default Fuel Rail Cover

The oil jockey at a local shop that I used to take my car to for oil changes scratched the crap out of my fuel rail cover after spilling oil on the cover and using a shop rag in an attempt to get the oil off. Of course a rough shop rag and a little pressure will always scratch ridged plastic so I stopped by today to point the problem out. The owner agreed to replace the cover, but after checking a couple of the GM parts vendors here I can't find the FRCs anywhere.

Does anyone happen to know if these are sold individually, and if so what are they called by GM and how much does a brand new one cost? I estimated about $150 but can't find anywhere to verify the price.

I don't think any of the other places can match Summit Racing with the free shipping.

I checked their site first and couldn't find them anywhere, even using "Fuel Rail Cover" as the search term.

If I was buying it that could be an option but since the shop is paying for it they can buy me a new one. We don't need to mention other options....shhhhh.
