Post a WTB ad in the classifieds section for first gens. The louvers are attainable but the dressup piece shown is only for an SA, you have an FB.

I'm not sure, would the center panel w the RX logo not fit to the FB body? Just not use the filler piece to smooth out the indentation.

Not a bad idea. Maybe make it mount the same as the stock panel?

The indent is not shaped at all like the gap in the FBs between the tail lights. You'd have to trim it down and if thats the case, you may as well fab one up instead.
