I don't think I have ever seen this befor, but it's an AWSOME idea!.
My guess is you will have to get it custom done (hey, I have some extra
fiber glass from my kick panel job...??? ='), but like you said,
you should be able to get a piece of metal for $45.  Let me know
what you turn up.   Since I am mailing you, Do you want to put some pics
of your 16v's stereo on my page?  I only have my car up right now,
and need all the content I can get.

One day....2.1 16v, Turbo, NOS, 6speed with Quaife, Coil Overs, 17" ABT 
wheels, Recaros, WAKE UP! Wow I love that dream ='), Anyway, I can't 
wait to see the progress, I have always wanted to see what it takes
to do one of the Reiger kits.
