there's 2 metal rods on the ends of your trunk hinges that go across the upper region of your trunk. you need to remove those. those are what push the trunk up when its closed. the cf trunk is significantly lighter than the cf, so the extra weight holds the trunk down as compared to the cf one that weighs around 13 lbs that weighs nothing, which allows the springs to push up the trunk when its closed. and you need to adjust the latch in the trunk as well. the part thats attached to your frame and not the trunk lid. as for your second question, you need to trim the lights to fit. thank you have a great day!

It will probably unlatch, but you might have to pull it open by hand.

you have to lift up the trunk when you unlatch it.
the subwoofer cover has the white clips that are tough to get out.
dont be afraid to use a flat head screwdriver and pry up the corner.
i pried the hell out of mine and nothing broke.
as for the bars, bolt cutters.
