The lip is the easy part. It's the rotted out formed areas forward of the lip that are the bigger problem to repair correctly.

Wonder if those formed area's are the same front to back - so to speak - you could cut out and turn around even from another year ? Just thinking outside the trunk.....

I decided to repair mine, ended up splitting the skin from the structure.

Youre doing the best choice IMO. Lips are super easy to fab and the rest is not that bad either.

I have a Glasstek fiberglass trunk lid on this car. I need another deck lid and was thinking of that AMD unit. Everything will require some amount of work for excellent fit.
