Good luck finding that strip. I'm pretty sure it was called a "Hood Edge Protection Strip" Not clear on the part number though. I know my local dealer told me that it was a discontinued part for the 9000.
What I ended up doing was taping off the area which would be covered with the strip. Then I used an Aerosol rubber-undercoat made by 3M. I sprayed the edge of the hood, and when it was tacky enough, I pulled the tape away. It came out looking perfect, people couldn't believe, and would closely examine the area that I'd sprayed. It still looks great today, and seems to hold up better than the original strip, which after time and weather ends up lifting, and/or chipping.
If you're interested, let me know and I'll post the series of pictures that I took of the procedure.
