I would try a repair shop that specializes in crash damage.
Your killing me frodo! lol....but thats some great advice about the specialty shop..I have one a couple of miles from my apt...makes sense, a shop like that would be the only place that would ever have use for such a part as a dealership likely wouldn't ever tackle such an involved job. i didn't realize it was just spot welded into place..origionally I was worried about having to cut it and the chassis metal it was attached to, then trying to get another one in and keep the alignment true...its funny the rear is the only part of the car that is that way..the rest of the underbody has lots of life left..why did it have to happen in such a shitty spot
