    Somebody here had a rear cladding for sale, new in box, a little while ago so hopefully they will pipe up.

    When you say the front and rear bumper, are you talking about the cladding or the actual structural pieces behind the cladding? I ask because my front bumper (the tube beneath the cladding) is rotting out and I am headed to a local 4x4 fab shop this afternoon to see if they will be able to bend up a new one for me. I can keep you up to date on what I find out from them if that would help.

    Here's a link to the guy that was selling the new in box rear cladding:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=280621656993



    Listing says that the item is no longer available, but does NOT indicate that it was sold. There was much discussion here that perhaps his price was too high, so maybe he just stuffed it back in his garage. I would DEFINITELY contact him directly.

    Hey Lizard - you never responded to my offer to track down 2 or 3 parts from your list.... (see post #45)

    How about I try to track down the TAILGATE CLADDING (The piece that has the license plate, correct?) and the GRILL?

    Give me a price range for each.

    I PM'd VX Crazy tonight, and turns out she has all 4 of the parts, 2 headlights, grill, rear door cladding. She's deciding what she wants to sell, and how much. She'll get back to us/you/me.

    Any other parts you need?

    Well the custom grill insert broke also which im really upset about cause that isnt replaceable. As well as my Klearz but I think the site still makes them. What about the Front and rear cladding(bumpers) The other major thing is the Core support but that would take some skill getting one of those off so might just have to buy a new. O ya and a Proton Hood would be amazing. I couldnt did up any used ones my insert is still good. But if you find a different colored hood cheap I could just get it painted. But then ya got to balance the cost to paint then just buying a new proton one.

    ~Front cladding - (there's always the aftermarket replica one that Marlin posted a link), but I'll try to find an OEM.
    ~Rear cladding
    ~Proton hood - Probably will need to get one and paint it.
    ~Core support

    I'll check with Lisa again and see what she has.

    My email is Lizardmen3477@aol.com That is awesome that you have all those pieces. Its called a core support. kinda hard ti dismantle it out so I may just have to bite it and buy the new one. But with all those cosmetic pieces for a good price would help a tremendous amount. Please send pics of all to my email.

    Last part it seems I need is the A/c Fan Assembly. Does anyone know where to get a hold of one cheaper then Merlin. Current is 363.00 for it all. Looks like my only bet though.
