Does anyone have a pic of the inside part of the trunk lid with the trim cover removed. My car is currently in the body shop, so I cant just go outside and take my cover off and look:(

also just a tip, the covering that lines the trunk lid, is only secured by little "wall anchor" things, and phillips head screw, when removing the screws (plastic on the sedan at least) don't push too hard just push enough to keep the screwdriver in place, because the plastic threads can tend to give and then you shove the screw right back in.

when i tinted my tail lights i had to remove this cover to get to the lenses on the trunk lid. one trick i found best was to have a flat head screw driver to help put pressure on the outer circle while unscrewing the screw that helps to prevent the screw from slipping back in.

i'm not sure if i typed that correctly to imagine it in your head, but i'll see if i can take a pic tomorrow if needed. hope it helps.

Thanks, I have removed those types of fasteners from other cars so no worries there. I just have to add some aftermarket antennas on the trunk when I get the car back. I was trying to figure out the placement of the antenna mounts before hand and needed to see what parts the trunk frame would interfere with.
