Default Broke plastic hood release part

I broke the tab on the piece when I took the bottom part of the dash off. I should have just left it on the piece and worked around it but too late now.
The part number is 53601 and the dealer is wanting $50 for it. Anyone know a good used part site that might have the part? I'd rather not pay the dealer for it. I can still use it the way it is but I would rather replace the part.

Thanks.

Parts.com has great prices for Genuine Totota parts. Some items were about 1/3 the price of my local dealer.

They have the Prius hood release handle for $25.14.
