Gave it an exterior detail.
Paint, wheels, fender liners cleaned.
Went over the coating with a top coat Sio2 maintenance spray. Rubber and trim were dressed. I tried a new product for rubber/trim.

Installed my Alcon CAR97 Mono 6 Big Brake Kit 355x32mm Rotors. SSR GTV02 18x8.5 +44 cleared them easily (for reference).

I installed one and hate it. I ended up grabbing one of these:
https://www.camincstore.com/shop/universal-trunk-handle

I just installed it at the top of the plate (since we don't have holes in the bottom) and it works well without having to pull my hand out of the way of a closing trunk.


EDIT: You can just barely see it here.

Great if you want to slam your hand in the trunk. Would end up pulling it down and then pushing from above anyway.

When I had my car in to get the ceramic coating done the owner showed me two Mustangs that had the trunks scratched to heck. I never thought about it but yes, people sliding their hands up and then back down to shut a trunk can make a mess out of plastic or painted panels.
My '06 STi had an inside grab handle from the factory. I got used to using it quite quickly. Never injured myself once in 13 years of ownership.

I've always closed my trunk just touching the license plate.

I didn't want to touch the paint or push against the paint with the plate. I thought about a plate surround that has a handle at the bottom but...

The car comes with two round rubber/foam pads glued on the trunk under the bottom of the plate.

No quicker way to wear it out than by interacting with it all the time
