ya you can paint it and it will look good..until the first time you put your key in it and it scratches all the paint off....or just use your trunk release the whole time

yeah, scratching would suck. Maybe I'll look into something a little tougher - not rhino lining, but along the same lines. Just gotta remember not to "rhino-line" my key mechanism into a permanent lock state.

Unfortunately, the trunk release won't work as the CF trunk lid is a lot lighter than the stock trunk. I took a look at the "spring" mechanism and couldn't figure out how to adjust it for less weight. I'll have to do some searching.
