Pick A Part had two Rex sitting in the yard, but they were both fairly gutted. One had a decent cargo set, the other had a fairly decent body on it.

(For anyone not familiar, the "cargo set" mentioned is the pair of pop-open storage boxes to the extreme sides, as well as the lockable storage which all occupy the back seat area of the USDM (and some foreign) CRX models.)

If your lock box has a beat up lid on it at all, it's not hard to rebuild them with either a piece of lauan (very thin wall veneer) or even 1/8" fiber board or plywood, even coroplast would work, really. All the hardware screws through the paperboard backer, so it's all pretty easy to xfer/line up.

Unfortunately, I don't have a good one anymore. I used to have a couple, but when they tag for up to $200 each, you tend to sell things like that quickly.
