Yes but I have not seen a repo that has the tabs also. Not saying there isn’t any but I have not seen them.

I have a repro with smallish tabs (more like a raised bump) unlike my original deck lid that has bigger real tabs.
I also stated previously that all GM deck lids have welded nuts visible inside the bolt holes unless someone can prove me wrong. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=143742

I am pretty sure Classic Camaro sold them in the late 80's. I used to have an old catalog somewhere.
The one I have was bought in 1994 from Year One and they rated it #3 quality. It is on the car now and fits decent.

Mitch, why did you weld on your deck lid?

I added an 1/8" rod to the lip to close up the gap to the tail panel.



I, also, lied about it not having a date code. I forgot about this.. and have no idea what it stands for.



Mine does not have the extra hole associated with an over the counter lid, as referenced in CRG. It does have an extra slot, assume, for moving the emblem up with a spoiler ?



Interestingly, it has no mounting holes for the emblem and never did have. Maybe it was an used lid from a Firebird when the car was repaired ? Lord knows, it had plenty of dents on the top side, that would not have been related to a right rear collision.
