No entirely true. There are several junkyards that deal in late-model f-bodies & related LS-powered vehicles exclusively. Just do a search online & you'll find them.

Get a blemished one from afterthoughts. I got one a few months ago and it looked flawless so I just left it clear.
I emailed them about the blemishes and they said that they're only in the clarity, not the structure. So even if you did get a bad blem you can just paint it and it'll look good as new.
