A little history on the deck lid for your car:

When I bought it in '88, the original owner told be he ordered the car with a wing but it did not deliver with one. So he did an over the counter purchase and did the installation at home. I'd never owned a winged car so it looked fine to me. Sometime after I looked at an original Judge at California Musclecars in Sacramento and found that my wing was well aft of the proper position. Being the early 90's, I simply purchased a virgin trunk lid and drilled the holes in the correct position. The original, otherwise perfect lid was discarded (remember the early days?). Years later, I found out that there was no way to have the wing "correct" for the GT-37 and it was sold. So IIRC, that lid is a '70, and it was a factory light green color. The paint is a little more faded than the rest of the car because I barely had enough CC paint left to cover. One more coat would have done it, but I ran out.
