1. I think I heard that it is true that you can sort of cut
the rear decklid and have that part of the motor stick up
into the engine compartment hidden within your existing rear
mattress without raising the rear mattress at all.  If it is
true that one can make the motor fit by merely removing some
of the foam from inside that rear mattress, then this sounds
like a positive thing albiet probably a little noisier.
