I want to put my Z on a diet and was wondering if anyone has seen a fiberglass trunk lid for a convertible? Thanks

Oops, you're right. Looks like you'll need to get a good used one then. Check the usual used parts sources ane eBay. I thought it was either Hawkes or F-BM that had it available. Hawkes shows just the seals as being available. Contact both since they also part out cars and may have one. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Guys, I'm really afraid we won't be able to get replacement parts for our convertibles in the future. They just didn't make that many and the third party folks can't make a profit to reproduce the parts. We have two choices. One is to just drive and enjoy our cars and if it gets hit we may not be able to get the parts to fix it. The second is don't hardly drive it and save it for your kids as I seem to be doing.
