I recall a thread on this with part numbers and Sunset's pricing. IIRC all the pieces are less than $500. If I were doing this mod I would buy new and have it painted.
I found one a few years ago on ebay for $120. Good conditon. Never used it and gave it to a friend. Ultimately he spent quite a bit on it as it had to have a special bead blast to remove the paint, etc.
I was pretty lucky to find one at $120. Figure $200 for a used one plus whatever Jim paid to have it stripped before the primer, etc. you are probably close to a new one. Unless the new ones have shot up in price.
Tough to get the old one out of the rear deck frame also. They are glued down. I think you have to use piano wire and saw the old one out.

I have crossed checked items from time to time and Sunset (Portland, OR) has more inventory of items and better pricing everytime over Suncoast (FL). No affilation.
But this time Suncoast may have them....$399

Yep, painting wasn't cheap, and the media blast was a waste of money. The original shop asked me to do it, then didn't want to paint it after I got it done. Had another shop paint and seal it to the spoiler - came out great!
I agree its a lot easier to start w/new parts
