Any advice replacing body part?

Just came back from getting my new coilovers and my co-worker mentioned that a trim piece was missing from my car. Arrrgh!

Does anyone have any advice for getting a replacement piece?
or do I just have to order it from the dealer and get it painted?

TIA!

Pics attached of the piece missing near my left rear wheel.

Also took a couple of photos of my new grill and carbon fiber lip. Been doing mostly performance MODS, so now I'm doing some cosmetic stuff now while I'm waiting for my new pulley!! Woo Hooo!!

My C32 is Black and I've replaced the side piece under the V6 compressor.
It came black, but I believe they would have it your color. Expect about $60.00

The new 1/4 side moulding comes painted already. It's about the easiest piece on the car to install as it just hooks onto the lip of the 1/4 and then snaps in place.


Your color code should be 744 brilliant silver.
