I got mine - used - from Redline Auto Parts (online salvage yard; I've used them before to get an interior door panel and have been very happy with them) for around $140 all in. It had minimal wear and tear.
Painted the side vents the color of the car, they were black, looks much better. My spray can from Paint Scratch looks a hair darker than the car, no worries!
Changed air filter and decided to finally clean the top of the engine a bit @ 150k miles and 18 years. Not a concours job, but similar to original I suspect. Feeling less guilty 🙂

Remarkably better! Nice job. Did you use any cleaner? If not, I recommend hitting it with foamy Gunk Engine cleaner, water from a garden hose, and some shop towels. It’ll get a lot of grime.
My results above. I ended up doing it a second time to get even more I missed the first time.
The paint on my car is in pretty sad shape. Trying to clean it up a bit.
If nothing else, the mirror housing looks better now. Fortunately, the rest of the car wasn’t that bad. Still more work to do overall before taking it outside for some proper photos.

Stunning results! What products/process did you use?
