I pretty sure I paid about $48 and ordered from my dealer. You can also buy what my dealer called a rebuild kit for $12 but I recommend buying the whole unit as you see it in the pic posted in my last post.

I have the SC so I only had to remove the one fuel rail with 3 injectors..you being stock I can't remember if you have to remove the whole fuel rail or not...somebody please chime in! You should begin by pulling off the cosmetic cover that has the 3.5 DOHC on it and you'll see your fuel rail with fuel pressure regulator attached to the rear of the driver side where fuel line hooks to bottom of it. Ask Tone if nobody chimes in but my job only took about an hour to do...not hard. I had to replace two injector o-rings too because they were damaged either when installed or when I pulled them out.
The new part has a new lock ring too in case you don't want to reuse the old one. If you can do all that CV front-end stuff you do spazz, this is a piece of cake......I purged fuel pressure too just like when you change fuel filter so you don't have gas spraying all over!
