Not only that, the decklid was one of the best fitting parts they sent me:

Good news! Thanks guys. Anvil was what I was leaning towards, but haven't found much info on how well their deck lids fit.

As much respect as i have for Matt and Co, please remember that it is a carbon fiber part and the recent batch will only be as good as the mold it's pulled from. Also I did find that under spring pressure the center bowed just a teeny bit; trunk seal will also effect fit. Just something to keep in mind...

Good points, Ron, and those still have me considering the Heartbeat City one. However, the few reviews I have found from Heartbeat City are not the most positive. I wonder how true to form the Anvil will stay over time being in the elements?

It's been a long time since I have had the time to work on my project. The only thing I have done is get my new Wilwood front brake setup ordered and delivered. I have been campaigning for state representative in my district and it has gone into a runoff. The election date is this coming Tuesday. Responses have been positive, but I will not know if I win till all the votes are counted, of course. I'm anxious to get this campaign over with and get back working on the project. Keep me in your prayers for a win Tuesday!

Since I'm still a regular 'Joe' after losing the election in a runoff by 11%, I figured it was time to back to my long neglected project. I haven't made a great deal of progress, though. I'm having to catch up on everything that had to be put on hold during the campaign. I did get my brakes mocked up, master installed and my Lokar pedals installed. Now I need to route the brake lines, attach the accelerator cable to the pedal and route the emergency brake lines. Once I get all that done, then I can get the exhaust routed. Then mockup will be completed!
