where could I buy the covers under hood online?

the cover that covers electronics (the far left one) under the hood was broken..
Can anyone please tell me where to buy this online?
I went to dealer shop but it was too expensive.. like $120.
they say its important cover because of electronics and wires or something.
Thank you.

if you're looking in your engine bay and it's on the left, that's PCM. Water in there would be bad.

Check with Paul @ Mazmart (he's a forum vendor here), he might have one lying around.

PCM is the computer that runs your car.
Here's mazmart's vendor forum. Either start a thread or send a Private Message to Mazmart
