(I'm reluctant to "wreck" the original bumper by hacking it up & glomming things onto it. Not sure why... I doubt I'll ever enter this car in any concours d'elegance... or even sell it for that matter. Irrational concerns. Car culture influences.)
I'll keep an eye out on my local CL's and such and if I find a rear plastic for you, I'll pick it up and hang onto it. Eventually, someone over this way will be going to see you, such as the next GGP or whatever, and can take it up to you, I'm sure.
