You should stop trying to mod if you can't drill a hole for a bolt to fit through.

these trunk wont come with trunk key holes, so you only have to worry about the latches on both sides. both reverse lights and your 3rd brake light, your latch for the trunk. and maybe/prolly the bump stops. .

when you take off your stock trunk just make a template of where the holes are on a sheet of paper then use that to mark them on the new trunk and drill the holes, shouldn't be too difficult

I believe in the group buy interest/feeler thread, we all voted for keyless trunks

There isn't a keyhole. So theres that. The drilling is quite easy, you drill only in the spots that are going to be covered up eventually, ie tail lights. Once the light is in, it won't be visible.

When you all get your trunks and look at them I think you'll all find this is much ado about nothing.
