Well the only thing you know about the trunk is that it was designed to be a trunk. I'd do some serious analysis before loading it with 100-200lbs of downforce and however much drag your AoA will produce. Even low drag can produce a significant torque on the trunk lid. The thing is just reinforced polyester...

I threw out the studs and nuts that APR supplies with the wing. Instead I put in some longer bolts with some sealing washers and Im going to make some type of plate to put on the underside of the trunk to help stiffen it up this winter.

I seem to remember reading somewhere about damage caused to a CF trunk from a wing due to the downforce. I would honestly brace the hell out of it then when you think you've done it enough.. Brace it some more.

whatever you do, before you take it out--put 150-200% target downforce on top of the wing with sandbags, water, etc, and use some bungies or some rope and a big fish scale to put the same 150-200% target drag on it.

Chassis mount it and you don't have to worry about it.

Exactly. Couldn't tell you how to do it...but put holes in the trunk and extend it down in there and mount to the chassis. That's the way it should be done in a race car anyway.

Thanks for the feed back guys. I did brace/reinforce it, and I can pull and put a lot of weight on the wing, and pull/push down the mount and there is little play (FYI I weight 200lbs so I did put load on it). With that said, I think I will chassis mount it after all. I just do not want to get my wing torn off, and cause a spin/accident and be out all of that investment.

Better to be safe than sorry.
