Where is the best place to get a new one? How hard is it to take it off?

How bad is it? Pics?

It's not that bad. But still it's there. I'm not home now. I'll take a pic tomorrow.

Same here, scuffed, scratched from under, tabs broke on the driver side. You couldn't even tell, it's all good. Will be upgrading to the Z/28 aero package sometime soon.
Yeah, post some pics.

I worked on one that had a minor encounter with a curb. Nothing was buckled, cracked, or popped - it was just cosmetic. He was ready to order a replacement but after a couple hours of learning how to work with ABS it wasn't noticeable except by the 2 of us - because we knew where to look. The job required acetone, fine sandpaper for wetsanding, compound, and a heat gun. I will post up some before/after later. Point is - if is just light scuffing and some scratches - it might be a DIY fix.

Awesome!

If it's scraped or has a few scratches you can sand it down and plasti-dip it. I did this last year and nobody can tell.

Could have someone vinyl wrap it to match the hood. Should only be about $100.
