I recently installed one from Rovers North. Perfect fit. Be prepared to take the hood off. It sounds worse than it is. I unbolted my hood and just slid it forward along the fender where it usually rests.

Here are the instructions on how to replace it. It's a pretty easy task even with having to remove the hood:

Ouch! That's a healthy chunk of change for a piece of plastic. Cracks don't feel quite a bad to me as they did a few seconds ago.

Damn, they're on back order for 3-4 months. If I order the cheaper Eurospare one, I'm gonna bed liner it before installing it. I'm ok with the cheaper one as long as the fit is good. Has anyone used the Eurospare one?

Genuinely awful lol. Anything must be better than the original materials used on these vehicles.

The one on my truck has just one crack, near the halfway point. Doesn't bother me. But if I were to need / get a replacement I'd probably try to reinforce it on the back side before installing, perhaps with some fiberglass matting.
