Call your local auto wrecking yard. If they don't have one they are all on a computerized system where they can order one. Be as cheap as you will ever get and the proper colour already.

There is a small wrecker in Alliston called "Early's Auto Parts". I went to visit a friend who lives in Alliston the other day and drove by their lot; they had an asphalt FR-S sitting near the fence that had been hit on the driver's side rear quarter panel. Whole front end looked pretty intact.
I was going to pop in and inquire about a driver's side sun-visor from that car, because mine is broken. *EDIT* I'm an idiot and just noticed you're in Alberta. Sorry. *EDIT 2* changed the name of the business to the correct name.

I'm still planning on stopping in there to inquire about the sun visor. My driver's side vanity mirror cover won't stay open on it's own anymore, and the vinyl is starting to crack on the one corner of the visor. Not a major issue but still bothersome. Might see if there's any other parts I'd want from it too. Not sure of the year or the trim, or if it has any mods, but Alliston is only about 20 minutes from my house and I'm there quite often to visit my friend, so I have to make a point of trying to stop in the next time I'm out that way.

Many people don't think about getting parts from auto wreckers anymore. I think the ease of getting used parts online has really decreased the awareness of these valuable resources. My father used to hang around them all the time so I practically grew up in the things and it is still my first place to check if I need something (not that I need much these days).

It's sitting out front right by the road in full view (highway 89 heading into Alliston), BUT it doesn't look like your "typical" wrecking yard with a huge lot out back. There's about 50 cars out front give or take, and it doesn't look like they even have a back yard at all, but hard to see from the road while passing by. I'm going to Google them now to see if they have a website with more details. *EDIT* I was mistaken; it is EARLY'S auto parts, not EASY'S, and looking at the pictures of the facility on their website, they do appear to have a back lot as well behind a wood fence. But they don't seem to have a way that you can search for a particular car on their website; just a particular part, and they don't seem to have an inventory list. It also appears they do sell whole cars, but most of the whole cars for sale on their website are classics or barn find project cars. The FR-S isn't listed on that page as being for sale whole. http://earlysautoparts.com/

Ya they can do wonders hiding the yard. Worth a shot but I bet they won't part out. They hide the part out cars in the yard so that they don't have to move them around after they pull parts.

I was thinking maybe they hide the older trash/generic shit in the back, and keep the newer late-model rare/desirable stuff out front so that it gets eye-balls on it from passers-by. But I could be wrong. I just sent them an e-mail inquiring about it, so we'll see what they say.

Try looking on http://car-part.com, it should pull up most wreckers within the radius you're after.
