Motorcars LTD salvage website. They'll get you one and get you one fast and ship it pretty cheap. Just send them an e-mail or call and you'll have it.

exexpat, check out http://www.waltandverns.com. They are an auto recycler near you (Buckley, WA). I have used them and they are good people to do business with. If they don't have the part on their lot, they will be able to get it for you. Take a little ride south and see what they can do for you.

It would appear they only came on 2002/2003 model years. Seems like a wierd thing to discontinue, but I'll find out if there was a fitment reason for it when I try to mount one on my 2004 3.0.

exexpat, most manufacturers put a cover over the engine to hide all the running parts so when someone unfamiliar with cars opens the hood, they see a nice clean look (which is becoming a larger and larger percentage of the population). I have the engine cover on my car and while it does help to make the engine compartment appear more "neat and tidy", I do notice that the cover rubs on the underside of the hood in a few places as you can see the indentions in the sound blanket that is attached to the hood. Not a big deal and it doesn't make any rattles. Personally, if you don't have it on, i would leave it off as it will promote better air circulation in the engine bay and help some components last longer as they won't be subjected to as much heat.
