Does anyone know where I can get the blackout for the trunk lock?

I don't know of a MFG or vendor that provides this trunk lock blackout piece. I and others have always made it using the spray rubber products . This procedure is properly done with the lock separated from being mounted in the car.

Great ideas.  Thanks.

Does anyone have a photo of what it is supposed to look like?

Its a little tricky and may take couple tries but you cut a piece about 3/4" long and heat. You might have to trim with exacto to get perfect

There is more then one way to skin a cat.  ;D  Whatever it takes to achieve a acceptable result is what counts.  ;)
