LOL, brilliant.
I can't wrap my head around that math. Metal decklid weighs 7 pounds. You replace it with the Getty Design one, and you're saving 8 pounds? So the replacement decklid weighs -1 pounds?

What am I missing here?

That is the reason for the higher cost. It is easy to replace stock with just lighter but to get a negative weight. Big Bucks
