Trunk Lid Needed

I need help, desperately. Dented my trunk lid this morning and am now looking for someone that may have one sitting around. Preferably silver but any color would do. Do not care if a spoiler is attached or not. Please let me know if you can help. Top $$$ if a silver trunk lid can be found. Thanks.

just the part for the lid is $517. and then with all the labor involved, we are talking $1500. the expensive part is them having to 'blend' the new paint on the trunk lid to the quarter panel. so basically they have to repaint the lid and the 2 rear 1/4's. this being said, a 'prepainted' used trunk lid would be cheaper for me.

go to a good shop, tell them to fix it and DONT blend the quarter panels, and tell them to computer mix the paint and then finally do a hand mix to get the color even closer and then paint it...my paint job came out great on my car and the car is almost 3 years old...size of the metallic particles to the tint of the clear coat to the actual paint all matches well...
