Bringing this up from the ashes to ask an adjustment question I couldn't find:

If I want to adjust rear coilovers, I should remove the trim. Did anyone maybe make a trim cutout that would allow quick rear shocks adjustment? Like cutting out a hole on the top, that would be covered with a quick-removal rubber cap or something?

My car has a couple ~1” holes in the trim above the coilovers to allow the extension adjuster to pass through. Those adjusters live there permanently. I’ll get a pic for you later.

That's EXACTLY what I need!!! Please do several pics, open/closed and from a few angles, so that I can just go to cutting without removing the trim first.

Thanks a lot!!

Ignore the full trunk… packed for a track day. The extenders are zip tied otherwise they tap against the rear glass all day long
