Fitment is important if you don't plan on painting it and leaving the
carbon fiber look. Problem is these cars are hand built and fitment is
always touch and go. That was why I went with fiberglass which was a
really good decklid but still required a lot of work to get really good
fitment:

My hood is aluminum and I can tell you fitment is tricky for these hoods;
especially around the front where it clears in opening:
