There are four pieces to the assembly, generally speaking.   There is the 
striker (mounted to the decklid), the latch (which is the spring-loaded chingus 
that grabs ahold of the striker), the pushbutton/lock (which you press with 
your thumb, and it in turn slides in and actuates the latch), and finally the 
housing which bolts to the body, that the pushbutton/lock slides in (the last two 
are normally sold together as an assembly, although there's really no reason 
why that should be).

You can see an exploded view of all the decklid bits and pieces here:

So, what parts do you actually need?
