..... i've seen home made splitters flutter on the track because they've lost a few bolts or were incorrectly mounted to begin with.
i've also seen a rear wing mount buckle on miata during an
autocross run
i think for the home-mechanic, overdoing it in terms of strength/ridgidity can only be of net benefit as they won't have that many chances to make tests of their design at speed in the real world as most don't use software to design/test them and just kinda go off generally accepted approaches.
