Rear Center Hood Stop

Rear Center Hood Stop
Hi folks!
Anyone know either a part# or the specific name for the rubber bump stop that goes in the hole in the rear center of the hood?
The stops in the front next to the turn signals are similar in appearance, but longer and much to thick for the rear location.
Here's the only place I found it so far, but it's $36 in shipping for a $10 part so maybe you know a different shop or at least the parts' proper name.

Hi,
thanks for the input. With that number i can find a couple of more shops, but the shipping costs are only getting ridiculously higher every time. 4,50 for the part and 50 bucks for transfer? Or 10 for the part and 34 for the transfer? What the...?
The board can't find anyone named 89iroc355. Can you please look through your previous dealings with him and let me know the correct lettering? Wrote a PM fo my82roc, though, so thanks
I just recently ordered something from thirdgenranch.com and am evaluating how they "perform", but I'll send them a message if I can't find anything here. Thanks.
Edit:
Ah, got the name. Saw it incidentally. It's 89irocz355. PM sent

WOW! I'd be crying about a $50 shipping charge on a $4.50 part too. I say cut him a little slack. I would imagine it's difficult to get parts for his 3rd Gen in Germany!

Re: Rear Center Hood Stop
Thanks.
It's actually not that great a problem to get parts here. There's a well established market for reproduction items here and some people are also parting out some of their 3rd gens.
The thing is... many parts, especially the larger and heavier ones are VERY expensive, so I mostly tend to get such parts from rockauto, summit, eBay, etc.
Just certain parts like this rubber stop aren't easy to get.
Edit:
I found a local member that has one of the bumpers left over for me, so thanks for your troubles
Case closed (for me)
