So who makes the "quality fitting bolt-on decklid" in your opinion?

In essence you pay at least double for a quality fitting bolt on decklid OR spend all the extra on body shop labor to make the Getty fit

Yeah, Mooty, forgot that for the 997 generation, you can use the OEM setup (997.2RS deck can be used w/ Cup uprights / wing).. I guess I was thinking in terms of the 996 world, where the hybrid (Cup outside, street inside) decks are aftermarket only.

...recognized the car when I saw the pic with the brick background at ASG. Looks really good in person and sounds great as well.

I have had Jack work on my stuff as well (ahem, a few too many times). They take a while to get stuff done but when you get it back finally it looks perfect.
Knowing about the Getty issues, I will buy OEM Porsche parts from now on and just bolt them on.
