Default Deck lid torsion
Rear deck lid torsion bars. Does anyone know where to find these? And has anyone ever installed them?

If you have a rear spoiler AMES has the LH rod (LH is the same with and without spoiler). The RH rod is different with and without spoiler. NPD has both rods. I remove and install with vise grips before paint. I included a pic so you can see how they go in.

By RH rod, do you mean passenger side? That's the one broken on mine.
