Replacement SNES cart shells?

Below is a "rescued" copy of Kirby's Avalanche:







Miraculously, this game still works, despite the lobotomy. I'd like to get the innards moved into a new cart and make it look nice so I can turn it into a repurposed, but working gift. A friend/coworker is currently cleaning 2 NES consoles for me, and as he's a big Kirby fan, I thought a copy of the game in a dolled up cart would be the way to go. If you or someone you know might have the skills and the equipment to turn make this into something nice, or at least give it a new cart, please give me a PM on here. Thanks.

    There are pink SNES cases for sale on eBay. I've considered putting my Kirby games in those for aesthetics.

    MortoffGames has reasonable prices. A lot of their stuff is directly copied from original though. I don't like the fact that the translucent game shell I bought says "Nintendo" on it. That basically means my custom translated Wonder Project J is just a bit closer to "counterfeit" in my opinion.

    Its kinda funny - I did an ebay search per StudyHallPanic#@!'s suggestion and the perfect pink shell to come up on there is being sold by the store Ichinisan suggested. Small world.

    Well, Ichinisan and I initially found him through eBay, so it kinda figures.

    well shit, the day I was prepared to order a cart their ebay store is on vacation mode and their website states "Unfortunately we have stopped operations for the time being. We are still here to answer questions and provide legacy support for you if needed. "



    Guess I'm on to finding a plan B now.

    Looks like the original suggestion re-opened his shop and I ordered a pink shell off him. Now to get a decent replacement label. The guy who sold me the cart recommended I check out retrogamecases.com, but it looks like they don't have any Kirby labels at all for SNES.
