It depends on the car! I love my scooped '67 decklid, I wouldnt trade it for anything! Convertible lids are great too- they dont disturb the lines of the car, yet still give the IDA's the air they need I think these look great on a cal look oval...   |

The Jade Grenade had an NOS 58-63 vert decklid. It was in red lead with the ink stamp when I got it. I almost didn't want to have it painted.

I prefer Convertible and I mounted it on my 65...
but I also like the Scoop´d Empistyle one.
The nicest one to keep the smooth lines of a bug is definetly the stock one-but enigne gets to hot on the Autobahn-the Cabrio Lid downs the Oiltemp. 10-15 degrees Cel. in the Autobahn in summertime.

I know AutoHaus used to. At least I know Ive seen a decklid like that with a AutoHaus label glassed into the inside. I dont know where mine came from- other then the previous owner  |

I had a NOS "58 lid for mine too, and I couldn't bring myself to altering it in any way. My friend Matt took my original '58 lid and "slightly modified" it ! All metal - hand pounded "D-cups" and grafted vert vents. Also a cowl vent from a late model to let the 993 fan breath a little better! It's my favorite part of my car. |
