Mr. Sheep - gonna have to expand on on your expansion now! - lol what type and years VW latch?, and give us a wider view pic of the latch placement. I may still go that route but couldnt make the remote pull work with the stock latch.

The stock latch on mine I just bent the lifter handle down just a bit more to clear my grill matte material and then cut the grill matte material for the handle to come through it. I also painted the handle satin black so you cant really see it in the grill matte.

Thanks guys for all your other comments!!! appreciate it!
