Default Where to buy a new door blade?

I'm looking for a good place to purchase a door blade. I just got this car and it has a nice big ding the driver's front door blade. I called the dealership first to learn that their price is... well, <i>excessive</i>. I checked ECS Tuning and Pure Motorsports, but that's not an item they carry. A search for "door blades" in the AR forum didn't return what I was looking for. Is there any online retailer or other source I can contact for this part?

I take the above back, it is the whole scuff strip underneath the car.

Look at this (Register to see illustration):

Parts 5 and 8. Take part number and punch it on ECStuning.com site:

The above is front aluminum sill.


Needlessly to say you can pretty much find all parts this way down to the last bolt.

Thanks, thejulex. I'm going to have to remember that P/N reference trick. That's far more effective than description-based searches.

I called Shokan and can get one used from them for a more reasonable price. Still pretty discouraging to see some of the price tags for this part, but hey, that's the way it goes sometimes.
