Carbon Fiber Trunk replacement question?

My issue/question is that I wanted to have a CF trunk with a GT CF wing attached that I could put on the car before track day and take off afterwards replacing with the OEM. I had not initially thought I would want it as a permanent trunk with wing on full time. I thought I could just buy the trunk lid latch so that it would close. However, I realize that the electronics to open the trunk are in the upper latch which means it needs to be wired.
Question, are there any suggestions how I can swap the truck lids back and forth easily without having to completely duplicate all the wiring for the trunk? I had not cared about the Third brake light and licensee plate lights being wired for the track. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Your best case scenario is to purchase another module, then swapping trunks should really be as simple as a single plug for the wiring harness.

I am not electrical savvy. Would you please describe the module and connections points.
Thanks
