Mike, I have one just like it on YS-318! A fiberglass STREET Yenko deck lid.
What makes it street? It uses the hinge mounting points and holdopen rod with the rear latch. And it has the inner bracings like a factory lid.
All others had to use hood pins to hold them on. I have a carbon fiber one like that.

Ken - The one you have on 318 is a Yenko lid. It has the bar that the hinges mount to on the inner panel. The one in the ad has an inner panel that is made from a mold taken off a stick steel panel. It does not have a bar molded in to mount the hinges. They must be affixed to the underside of the outer panel.
