The proto type "easy open deck lid" is done. I have been thinking about this for a few years and finally decided to do it. A lot more convenient to open the lid with the top up and a must have if you have a hard top. Works really well. Should have been built this way from the factory.

Is there sufficient room on the larger lid to bolt on the spoiler, with similar spacing as on original trunk lid? |

I moved the stop light back a little less then one inch. It looks like the spoiler would fit the new lid but the front wrap around ends of the spoiler will be hanging over the front panel a bit and of course you couldn't bolt it on there. |

Don't know if this suggestion helps or not ... but those that are interested, what might you be willing to pay for such a mod, assuming primed and ready for paint, plus freight of course?? |

It will take some time to research the vendors and parts suppliers to come up with a tentative price for the package. Especially not having any idea of any volume which has a big influence on the price. |

From what I can tell from the picture, the problem I would have is with my TGF Spoiler bolted on to my deck lid now. It would require a lot of work to switch over. |

Originally posted by Tom Mills: I can't tell for certain from the photo above whether or not the OEM convertible top can be stowed under the smaller of the two deck lid sections you've created. Can it? If so, should both deck lid sections be open to accomplish that, or just the smaller one? |
