That's the inherent problem with judging off of what top tier racing teams do; they all have rules that govern what can and cannot be done to limit costs and performance. All too often enthusiasts get stuck on what a company did or didn't do and they don't understand that this company is making a compromise in performance to stay within class rules.
We're looking into this style of mounting but I think it will be difficult to make it look good without the wing hanging pretty far rearward of the trunk. I believe this puts a wing like this out of classes.
We're attempting to come up with something that mounts to the trunk while remaining rigid for the forces it will produce.
I picked up a spare trunk that I will be able to cut into and figure out rigidity on. Looking forward to getting something finalized, hopefully, within the next month and prototypes a few months after.
Thanks,

For me a chassis mount isn't an option (at this time) as I require trunk access. Unless it folds back like the one posted above. I have the GReddy wing and love the look. Far superior to a wing that mounts to the top of the trunk.
