You can fit a supercharger, then a turbocharger along with MegaSquirt but a piece of plastic trim stops you dead in your tracks.

I am worried....

Um.. not to be an ass, it didn't stop me in my tracks, there is a grommet that looks like I need to drill the trunk lid - I am all for it, but before I put a 1/4" hole in my trunk lid, I'd like to know if other people used these or not. Mel Abrahams only sent me the one grommet/plug, so I need a second anyway. The filler plate was sure easy to put on without using this, but I am a little more picky and the bottom sticks out past the trunk lid, and so... if anything, I am trying to do it right

I'm not really sure but I think the US version M5 license plate filler should not stick out. I have the Euro version which came with the grommets but I did not use the grommets at all (Didn't feel like drilling holes to the body). The filler came with an adhesive tape attached to the bottom of it to keep it as flat as possible to the surface area.

I also purchased the US version which I tried on and it did not stick out at all. Just make sure that it is fit snuggly and correctly at the upper portion where the license plate lights are located. I decided to go with the Euro version because my sons gave me original Zoll (Export) plates a while back.
