Bill, my reference to drilling was in relation to the spoiler mount holes, not the lettering holes.

I agree, that'd be quite a challenge to get right, and I'd look at alternatives like you mentioned before attempting to drill the lettering holes.

I'm sorry to here some of you have bought inferior trunk lids over the years, but I assure you this one is solid as a rock, possibly to the point where it is too heavy compared to the original. We all know that every body panel source is different, and quality changes every year.
