For the carbon fiber plate frames I want to install, I really want 4 at least in the back. Is this direct into the trunk crap "ok"? If so, how should I go about putting in the extra 2 holes? Otherwise, what should I do?

Also, the plate is already marring up the paint around its' edges... I think I can come up with something for that based on what I've googled, but any suggestions on the best way to handle my situation would be awesome, thanks.
You are wrong. The two sheet metal screws go into plastic inserts.

Also there are two strips of rubber under the rear plate to reduce rattles and protect the paint
