Lol, just trying to "finish" the project. But every time I'm finished, I find out there's more to be done...

Strong single piece mounts for each side. As the wing gets higher the supports need to get stronger.
Ah yes, I'm planning to get a video of any possible flex in the wing and wing stands in the near future.
Nice, definitely would be interesting to see some proper slow motion to see how the wing reacts relative to the rest of the car at high speeds and over bumps and what not.

I definitely need a camera for that test. I tried peeking in the mirrors, but they wiggle around. Also, driving around with my head turned backwards staring at the wing is asking for trouble, especially at speed.

I really doubt the extensions are the weak point. The trunk mount point and wing mount point can't handle that leverage.

So I should hold back on my weekly 200 mph top speed runs?

Is there leverage you refer to that is different from downforce?
Meaning side to side movement?
