Here is what I was referring to. Check the stock convertible lid, then look how the vertical lines on the lid don’t line up with the vertical lines on the body. If this lid was on a convertible it would look fine, but having it on a hardtop just looks odd to me. I wonder if it might look better if the outside three louvers were removed so the outside of the vents on the lid matched more closely to the body vents? Or I could just be too picky.

Check this beautifully executed louver job on this 1954 deck lid. Wow! How nice is that. I’d guess there will be no reason for a rain guard on this Porsche like set-up. Not sure what the cost of having this done would be, but compared to running the convertible lid, I think I prefer this look. I’ve never thought the vertical vent lines on the convertible lid matched up with the vertical vent lines on the body. You can see by the pictures where I found these.. click here for more great info.
