Where to buy lower ft valance for '96-'99?

I've been looking everywhere but the dealer, and can't seem to find a replacement front valance - the black plastic strip that sits below the ft bumper/foglights on a 96-99.

Where might I be able to purchase one?

try junk yards. if can't find any junk yards in the area look at car-part.com, they list junk yards from all over the country. if can't find any than just go to the dealer, i'm guessing they will charge somewhere around $100, where junk yards might charge you a third of that, so it won't be that much big of a difference.

Wasn't able to find it on pelican parts' website. I'll give them a call to see if they might have one. Dealer wants $175...

Anyone aware of an aftermarket replacement for this lower valance? Did Brabus/Lorinser/Renntech/etc. ever make a more aggressice valance made to fit the oem early-w210 bumper, or did they only make full bumpers?
