If you need templates for the holes, Year One has them.

Anybody use one of these before??  My trunk lid doesnt have the cutouts....

I can't view the YO site from work, but I got templates from FPAP (I think?)  White plastic mold of the rear trunk with cutouts where the bracket holes would go.  Easy work with a thin cutoff wheel.  I'll have to see if I can find the templates in my pile of parts...

You may still run into issues if your trunk lid doesn't have the cut outs for it.

I installed a T/A style on my car on a trunk lid without the cutouts for it. Not really a big deal. Just open up the underside of the trunk lid with a burr on a handheld drill.

   I did the same with a burr and die grinder. Just drilled the holes from the top first them opened up the bottom to suit.

I made my own template and taped it to the car......drilled holes down thru the deck lid (9hardest one was the first...LOL) and then used a small metal hole saw big enough to make the cutouts where the holes came thru.
