Ryan,
That part is available from GoWesty.  Look under Misc. Trim-Trim around Gas
Cap.
The part number is: 251-201-117 ($18.95US).
The opening in the side panel has tabs and the trim has tabs with slots.
You need to rotate the trim about an inch and it will come off.  I did this
recently, I just don't remember whether a clockwise turn loosens it or not.
My guess is counterclockwise loosens it.
