How to access rear adjustable shocks?

Any clever ideas for how to allow access to the tops of the rear shocks? I'd like to be able to adjust my rear Illumina shocks without having to remove the side panels, which is a pain because I have to remove a subwoofer, which is bolted through the floor of the trunk. The obvious answer is "cut holes", and that's fine, but I'll want something to cover the holes, to make the trunk look "finished".

I have two amplifiers mounted up against the back seat, and a JL Stealthbox on the left side that's bolted in place, so bending the panels out of the way isn't a convenient option.

Your audio setup is preventing you from accessing the tops of the shocks.
Either reconfigure your trunk so you can get access to them or just set them and forget them.

You have two choices, pick one and be done with it.

Reconfiguring the amps and sub is not an option. The JL Stealthbox is designed to fit in one place and one place only, and there isn't a better place for the amps.

I believe I have a third option, the one I suggested initially (cutting holes in the "carpets"), I am just hoping that someone else has done it and I can benefit from their experience.

It's not that big of a deal, as I am pretty happy with 2/2, but if I can soften up the rear anti-sway bar some, then I might want to go to 3/3. That just means leaving my trunk in pieces until I get the suspension tuned the way I want it.
