Since it was on jack stands and my trunk looked like this I decided to repair the trunk while it was up.

As I began fitting the rear panel piece I noticed the similarity between the rear panel and the piece in front of the trunk spar/brace and thought, maybe...... Then the G&R event happened and found another one of these panels ($5 cheaper than the one I bought from Otto) so I bought it, too! I said too because I also bought a set of Fuch's

The slits were intentional to allow the piece to slid between.

This is one place that it didn't match. Notice the gap between the new piece and the brace. It's a gap appx. 15mm
