[DeTomaso] carbon fiber rear deck, flat or with ridge down the center???

[GW]

My vote for flat. The ridge is easy to add; could even be supplied as a 
add on. I found the fiberglass lid to be light and more then strong 
enough. There is plenty of structure and angles to make the actual 
difference between fiberglass and Carbon Fibre irrelevant. The carbon 
fiber would be neat but I don't see it as needed; just desired.

One thing with mine is the fit sucks. I am about to begin work on 
getting the edges to match the car. If you can build a better aligned 
decklid that would be a plus although I am sure it varies some car to car.

Turns out he molds vintage race car body panels, so making a rear deck is no big deal.  Question is, if he is going to make a mold, and will then be able to make more rear decks, is it better to make a mold for an early flat deck or a later deck with the ridge down the center?
