Aftermarket Exhaust Shrouds

I was recently backed up into by someone, and am in the process off getting the car fixed. One of the things that need replaced is the exhaust shroud. I wasn't sure if there were any kind of aftermarket exhaust shrouds I might be able to pick up with the insurance money instead of the OEM ones. I have done some looking around, but I wasn't sure of the correct terminology to use while searching, making it difficult.

I know I could go the rear underspoiler route, but I wasn't sure if I had any other options. Thanks for any help you have!

I got a new back bumper when my car got hit. Well to be honest I also got the front bumper and the rear wing. It really stands out now and I get a lot of attention.

The damage isn't great enough for them to think the bumper needs replaced unfortunately. It just put a slight dent in it and the quarterpanel, and cracked the exhaust shroud. The quote I got from the insurance company was $1231.30 for the repairs.

http://japanparts.com Also sells those parts too if that's the route you want to take, not sure how long it will take for you to get the parts though...

Aren't the shrouds like $50 each? I believe the aftermarket ones would be a lot more than the OEM.

anyone who gets into any kind of accident that needs only body panels replaced should take the insurances money and buy from a part-out on rx8club. (of course this doesnt apply to special paints like the shinka/40th) Pocket 90% of the profit. Dont quote me on it but i think wrightcomputing spent a little more than that for his mazdaspeed replica.
