I’ve heard this part paint matched is about $80 bucks. For parts you can check this website https://www.car-part.com/mobile/index.htm they have some decent choice on local scrap yards. Also eBay has some pretty good color matched stuff.

 

The previous owner of my 22 had the AC go out while still under warranty. Apparently one of the refrigerant pipes was rubbing from the factory and it spring a leak. Might be a similar issue.
