Looks okay but you need two adjustments.
1) lower the latch receiver so that HUGE deck lid gap is narrowed to OEM. Latch receiver is just two screws to loosen on the inside of the engine bay.
2) once you lower the latch the lid will sink a bit relative to the fenders so you'll need to raise the rear of the deck lid. Do that via the two screws on each side of the lid that attach to the hinge.

You probably know the latter screws from positioning it already but it's clear no one touched the latch receptacle. That procedure is even in Getty's own instructions.

Will do...the current gap is exactly the same as the stock lid, but adjust I will!

Looks great and I like the front lip spoiler you have on too. Noticed you put on the 991 headlight look in black, cool!
