I am an estimator at a dealership body shop. I'll check availability for you on monday and post up what I find out.

Believe or not we run into parts all the time that are not available. Just an example is the 04-07 chevy silverado rear seat covers. We have had two of these trucks come in that were theft recoveries and needed the back seat recovered, but GM has had one of the covers on back order since february. When it comes to finding salvage interior parts 99% of the time they will show up and something is broken or messed up making the part unusable. You really need a new OEM dash from nissan.

We are already having issues with the paint supply from Japan and it is only going to get worse.
