Derek

Looks cool as is you should change your rear apron to that the older style deck lid will fit.

Are your rear fenders dimpled style?

Between all the bolt holes there is a raised area going from one bolt hole to another.  If you have it they are a bit of a rare beast

The catch for the deck lid is lower down. the newer deck lids were mad Shorter to clear the bumper( I think  :unsure: )
