Faceplates aren't cheap. If they were cheap, they wouldn't be effective theft deterrents. Why not steal a radio without a faceplate, if you could get one for $20? I think they're somewhere around $200-$250. Might as well buy a new HU.

I never take mine out because i'm lazy. I think there is a way to screw down the face plate to the unit so the it would not be removable, like they do in the car stereo shops. Probably would'nt do much good though, beacuse a thief would probably break it as he is stealing it.

Try Ebay. Just type in a search of your exact model, and sometimes you'll find someone just selling the faceplate and not the whole headunit. This is what I did. I just happened to come across a faceplate for my Kenwood because the face on my old one was pretty well scratched. I think I paid like $10.00 for the faceplate. 
It just depends on the discretion of the seller. Good luck!
