    Rear metal apron for db to plastic bumper swap - Got One

    My car is currently at the paint shop getting repainted, as well as a plastic bumper conversion done. I have been unable to find a clean shell locally to cut the metal rear apron off of to tack on to my car to complete the look.

    I am looking to find someone willing to cut the rear apron off of a 88+ car, preferably with the unnecessary bits (battery tray, support, etc) cut out to make shipping cheaper. Cut in half or thirds is even an option, as I can easily weld it back together when its getting welded on.

    Willing to work something out to make this happen, as I would hate to go through all the effort of a complete paint job and bumper swap, but not have the rear apron to go with it.

    I am located in western ny, zip code 14043.

    Please let me know if you can help me out with this project.

    UPDATE: Got one for $120 shipped. Thanks guys.

      I would buy those off you but I'm guessing you wouldn't want to ship them to Chicago?

          Cut it into three pieces and stuff it in a cardboard box. Buyer already said he didn't care because he can weld back together.

            I shipped one of these to Washington State from Florida. The buyer also bought the rear bumper from me and to I left the bumper attached to the rear apron to give it some rigidity. There is no amount of packing material that will keep that rear apron from bending, the only way is to have rear bumper attached.

              I have talked with a couple potential sellers, but I'm still open to offers. I know that it would be flimsy and large to ship intact, which is why I figured cutting it in thirds (like the foha rear aprons) would make it much easier and cheaper to ship, and improve the chances of it arriving straight.
