yup, all you have to do is drill a few holes and get the trunk to open via remote (spoilers cover the key hole)

Holes in the tail gate and rear quarters and then a remote opening set up. One member made cardboard templates to get the holes in the right spot.

Your best bet is to get one from a SX/4 or its Spirit counterpart, that had the rear spoiler set up from the factory.
