Kai, I am referring to the chrome rack on top of your trunk.

ozarkpreacher, I bought the rack from mutazu and modified it to fit my trunk.
here---> http://www.mutazu.com/products.php?cat_id=26&menu=Accessories&product_id=117&s=prod.php

bought some black spacers from True Value Hardware store that fit the diameter of the rack bought other spacers that fit inside of those and glued it all together mounted the rack so it would be higher then the rear spoiler brake light, then I bolted it all in... hope that helps.

Kia did those studs come on the pad on your trunk or did you put them on.I need to put some on the trunk I have I think it would help blend it in alittle better.

Just doesn't look right.
