I've seen trunks with no keyhole and smaller plate area than this one...



Is this a LCI change? I'd appreciate any info on this.

Thanks for your help.

Can't recall exactly what it's called but there is an OEM kit that covers the keyhole and has the smaller area for the plate. Pretty sure it has been available for some time and is not an LCI thing...

Well it's possible with LCI, just modifications are necessary to make it work. Alternatively, people have just swapped out the trunk entirely.

thats true... I forgot you have to shave down the trunk finihser but that is just too much work IMO I would just switch out the trunk like you said lol or just leave it its not that bad because it is alittle more flushed
