Yeah you can't exactly trim a CF decklid if you want to retain the carbon
look, whereas with a glass one you can modify as required. Be aware that
nearly all the CF decklids for sale in the US are a Carbon overlay
(aesthetic only) of a fiberglass decklid and just as heavy if not heavier.
There's one company I'm aware of in Europe producing true Carbon units.

which was made from a mold of my early 72 deck.  It fits the 72 really well,
but is a poor fit to a 73 and would require serious mods.  Others have also
said there are differences, but I'm not sure if they are early to late cars,
or each car is different.
