See the spot where the bumper should be under the tail gate? It was replaced with a roll pan, then shaved (seams welded to make it smooth).

I want to do that with Cara, although primarily for aesthetics, It'll get rid of the parachute effect that the rear bumper has.

I'd like to do it so that I can permanently attach the wheel skirts to it, so it makes a single bolt-on unit, which I believe will be cleaner looking. As it seems, though, I'll probably just make some quick sheet metal covers and then modify it again later.
