W-27 Cover - Real or Repop?
Sounds like the best way to determine if a W-27 cover is real or repop is to post pictures. The cover has been on the car as early as 1984...not sure when repops started hitting the market. Thanks

Looks like the same texture as mine, the bolts are replacements. But that doesn't mean the cover isn't real.

Steven - can you post a pic of your W-27 cover? You have the entire rear, correct?

Hey Joe,

Next time the cover is off I'll wipe it down and get some pictures of the inside surface. Anything in particular on the inside that would set it apart?
