Has anyone purchased a reproduction Split Vert or Standard Decklid as seen in the classifieds that come from Oregon? I am curious about the quality and craftsmanship. Also, did it arrive without dents from transport too? There is no feedback from the seller. Its about 8 Big Bills to get one to your house, so i thought I would check around first Wink Cheers

Although not actually ever seen these in person I've seen the other "repro" sheet metal they sell in person, I'd say save your money for an OG one. Hope that help's.

There has been several threads here about them. do a search for repro deck lid or KSR decklid.

We have used two decklids for a sportive split and a Oval. The quality is nice for that money - but you have to work a little bit for a better fitting. The grove doesn't follow exactly the roofline. But even if you find an NOS one, you have to work for a better fitting too - but you loose foutimes the money
