Looking for this assembly

Hello and thank you for opening this post. I am currently repairing my 2014 frs and I'm looking for the parts pictured. They are multiple part numbers but are welded together. Color doesn't really matter as long as it's in usable condition

That's two pieces technically (although they might sell them together as well, the two are held together by 3 spot welds), but they are cheap man. Just buy them new. Someone has to drill out the spot welds and often pry it off and hopefully not damage it. If you find a yard parting out a rear end hit car then you can probably get a good piece used but I bet you'll pay basically just as much as you do new. These are parts we always buy new.

Its more like 5 different pieces spot welded together. For some reason I cant find one of the pieces anywhere. I live up in Anchorage Alaska and getting all the individual pieces shipped up here would probably cost more than the parts themself. We get screwed on car parts up here

It's two pieces when ordered. I've replaced them a few times now on rebuild projects: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133231

For example on the Hot Lava car, the passenger side needed only one of the pieces while the drivers side needed both. It's possible to order every little piece separately but that would be a bad idea instead of just the two pieces unless you really like spot welding.

Is there a Subaru dealership up there? If not someone could buy them in the 48 and ship them there but I'm not sure that'll cost less. FWIW I haven't seen these pieces used but I also haven't looked very hard considering the cost of new ones. I've often found that used sheet metal parts for these cars cost about the same as new and we've mostly switched to new OEM for all but the hood because we know we are getting an undamaged part instead of taking the chance (my t bracket for my 2015 for example cost the same as new and was slightly bent).

Edit:
FWIW, here's the complete left side upper panel: https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_20...29CA0809P.html
And here's the fender support: https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru_20...39CA0209P.html

Retail on both combined is less than $120.
