Making bracing to fit the curve of that panel might be too much of a pain in the ass to be cost effective though.

I've seen a swan neck chassis mount wing on an 86, so it is doable. The chassis mount setup looked cumbersome and still interfered with trunk operation, but I'm sure it worked well for downforce.
Going through the body would be a permanent, race-car like modification in our opinion. That is part of the unibody! Not a modification to be taken lightly.

The swan necks I have seen that are mounted to a structural part of the chassis lose all use of the trunk and would not be water tight without some silicone or some form a waterproofing.

Too early for us to give a definitive answer. We're going to do our best to keep it competitively priced while offering some neat aspects/performance advantages.

Thanks,
