Is your car still in the stages where you could adjust the shape around the light to fit the contour a little better ?

Most T handles as part of the three lock set on these are lockable. They make lockable and non-locking L and T handles if you prefer. There should be enough room between the light and the handle unless the plate surround is large. I have seen some guys bend the plate/holder outward a little to clear the handle mounting point, to just before where the T handle would strike it when turned. It makes for a careful open and closing via handle, but works. I have never seen the latch setup located under the trunk. I have seen remote poppers for the trunk and hood though, which gives it a cool clean look.

Good Luck,
Mike.
