I have been doing that, but seem to only find places the install it for you. I just want to buy a panel and install it myself. I was going to do this for my sister, to save some money. Most places want upwards of $400.

Any suggestions on search terms and does anyone know what vendors make compatible screens?

The price on that one is insane. Worst price I've seen yet. I don't have the unibody, I have the 2008. I can take it to the local guy and get it fixed for $400.

I think you might as well just take it to your local guy, I don't think you're gonna get a new screen for less than $400
