Ok, so I found someone selling a 2009 Unibody MBP 15"s bottom case, will that one fit on my 2011 unibody? I found another one but it's 2010 and $40 more expensive.
 
I know this doesn't answer your question, but don't waste the money. I too am quite obsessive about keeping my gadgets pristine, but unless you plan on buying a replacement, and then spending more on a whole case skin to further protect it, you're likely to scratch it again... it's the bottom of a laptop.

Bear in mind as well that the bottom of a mac laptop carries the serial number, so if you find a replacement it will either have the incorrect serial or have it "removed" somehow.

If you buy an official replacement part from Apple - it won't have the serial number there.

I did buy one from Apple for $AUS88 for a 2010 15" bottom plate.
