Murphy's Law

Some old lady backed into my car this afternoon and scraped up the rear spoiler. OF COURSE it's the only body panel that has been completely discontinued by Acura and no Acura dealer in the country has one (in any color).
Part number is 08F03-TK4-231 (231 = Grigio Metallic). If I could find one in ANY color (08F03-TK4-XXX) I could just have it resprayed. Even a used one in good condition would work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

It would help if you mention the year of your vehicle, FWD or AWD, etc.

Thanks guys.
Sorry for the lack of information. It's a 2011 Acura TL SW-AWD with the Acura "Accessories" lower body panels. The damage isn't that bad so I'll just have it repaired and resprayed.

With such a damage, you don't even need putty, you heat the pits with a heating gun, grind the plastic into a level, primer and paint (if you paint with a water base, you don't need a primer). I would give less then 4 hours of labor for a complete repair(Remove, completely disassemble, prepare, paint, assemble and replace the bumper.).

if you repaint, make sure you re-apply good double tape, like Godzilla...

Hopefully the idea that " it comes in threes" doesn't happen. So far I've hit a big burly raccoon that destroyed my front left side, and a severe storm caused hail damage. I don't want to guess what may (IF??) comes next haha.
