Wrapping an OEM part doesn't sound like a good way to go. Think of the extra thickness of the part... the gap around the trunk would close up, the trunk would look higher, etc.

The trunk release should be associated with the latch at the bottom, not the trunk itself.

Any trunk that latches to the OEM location should still function like the OEM hood - Yes?

I have not taken the time to see whats going on under there but logic would dictate something to that affect. I am thinking like the hood release.
