I think i can make it work if you just have to cut a hole for the latch and drill holes to mount it. or is there more than that?

That's it, and you have to drill in the holes to attach the 3rd brake light from the inside. Also, I recommend not using your trunk struts/shocks.

That and it adds unnecessary pressure on the carbon trunk.

Finally. I should send you a landyard just for using your noggin'..
Indeed.

why does it open too fast or something?
The compression on the stock cylinders is far too stiff for a CF trunk that weighs less than a third the steel trunk weighs.

the struts also put a lot pressure on the trunk when it's latched.

Exactly, it's not hard to take out the struts so you can do whatever you are comfortable with.
