Thanks for the info and advice. I'm trying to stay away from the dealer and I'm considering totaling it...
Use your dealer to get you the part number (they'll lookup using your VIN to ensure they have the right part number). Then use the part number to find the lowest online parts supplier and replace it yourself. Or, as suggested, try junk yards (both local and online) - but unless you can see it first, you're risking getting a scuffed one.

Thank you very much. I live in the mid-year Corvette world, so your suggestion is news to me. It should get me there
I was found to suggest getting some plastic filler putty, aka "Green Stuff" that plastic model makers use to fill seams.
Let it dry.
Sand with fine sandpaper.
Use flat black or gray to paint to match....you'd be surprised how many colors are available
(literally dozens for WWII tanks). You'll need to go to a good hobby shop or buy online...the internet has pretty much destroyed physical hobby shops.
But seeing how cheap a new part is, just buy and install.
Of you don't have all the necessary interior pry tools, have a body shop do it.

Good advice. Its a pretty simple job, but you do remove the Body Hinge Pillar Garnish Molding first. The instructions say to use a flat bladed plastic trim tool, but I'm betting it can be carefully pulled by hand. I have the tools so I would use them. But I'm thinking it probably pulls off as easily as the panels that we remove to get access to the battery.
