I think there's a couple in summit or jegs. Spectre makes one too but I've never seen it locally.

I got mine at pep boys for about 6 bucks. looks great, you don't need to polish it either, just use wondow cleaner. If you want to trick it out a little more, take it to one of those gift shops at the mall where they engrave stuff. You can get something pretty cool done for about 20 bucks.

Hell, then you might as well buy the MBA one, though.
