Where to find OEM or Reproduction Anniversary front lip pieces

as the title states, im looking for a new right section. I was recently in an accident and just that piece is unrepairable. My body shop has looked high and low and tells me its a discontinued part

any help would be greatly appreciated!

oh and its part number 008R04149 if that helps at all.

these are definitely very hard to find! and pretty dam expensive too. i want an AE kit for my car badly. u can find them sometimes on ebay but they never last when they are on there. i would try to call ur local junk yards to see if they have one. maybe the stealership would be able to find one for you GL bro

I think someone makes a replica rear lip, but i'm not sure about any of the front section. Good luck on your search.

Are you still looking for this? I stumbled across this on CL but you never know with CL, as we all know.

Looks like they are parting one out.

thanks for the tip spyder, but the shop slapped on a stillen classic for me. looks pretty similar to the AE and amazing with the new paint buuut it does take away from the orginality of the car

Glad to hear shes all set. I say that is definitely the 2nd best looking/closest match to original there is to be had. Gotta say, kinda jealous about the fresh paint.
