You can actually remove the wing and access the trunk easily in under a minute.

When it rains the trunk collects water. I just remove the two grommets, drain it, then reinstall the grommets. I did get splashed on a track day when I apparently hadn't drained it well.

There's a bit more side to side than I would like. I may experiment with reinforcing the mounts below the trunk.

The supports are not height adjustable.

I like the wing because it's very efficient. At my local track I'm actually faster everywhere, including peak speed on the straight due to higher apex/exit speed.

Id cover the holes in the trunk with some white duct tape to keep the water out.

^^^Dan's running the XS in that video, isn't he? NT01s for you? What type of splitter do you have on the car to balance out the rear aero?

Correct, Dan's a beast

No front aero, and minimal front camber. I'm developing the car gradually.... I've since added front camber and will later add a splitter.

Im having the same side to side motion problem as you turbo8765, I cut my slots just mm wider than the stands and I can hear the stand hit the trunk often on low speed turns.

Just got my quick release pins today, one question. There are 3 holes above the trunk that hold the upper stand on and then one hole inside the trunk and that makes 4 holes per side, I only received 6 quick release pins. Is this how yours is?

I just use the top 3 on each side. Not sure the lower one would add anything. Now you see why my slots are so wide.

In that video the only part of the track I felt I was making any ground on eric was T9 then carrying that extra speed down the straight and drafting that maybe the wing slowing it down.
Its hard to say if his car would pickup time over a lap with less wing but I think it might. I try and set mine so its stable thru 4th gear corners and take whatever in the slower stuff. If I can go flat in a 4th gear corner I might back it down a degree or two till it starts to scare me
