I was thinking that, but I still want the trunk to be functional.

The flex in the deck? I could see that, its pretty flimsy. I'd think the "easy"answer is take of your trunk and mold a sheet of carbon or fiber glass to it. That's all voltex did. Or maybe a tube framework on the underside?

Why do you think you have to brace inside the trunk? Unless the hinges are very flexible the trunk lid attaches at 3 points so it should be secure. The only flex left is in the trunk itself - you basically want someone to weld up a roll cage for the underside of your trunk that attaches where the stock bracking is. If you wing mounts only to the sheetmetal skin of the trunk then laminating the skin with carbon fiber would work very well.
