When I'm going 139 and it starts pulling I'll let you know

Did they include a reinforcement plate for the underside of your trunk? Seeing that it's center mount I'm hoping it won't warp your trunk.

Wow a constructive comment. Thanks!

Good thought. The wing is very light, trunk lifters have no trouble. I didn't think of that but will look into it. Quite frankly I got the trunk just for this wing and if it warps so be it, but since the mounts go over the back Ridge it is pretty sturdy. If it were a carbon trunk I would be more concerned.

I'll keep an eye on it and report, for now seems solid.

All brackets are FRP.

Why is it crooked?

KONVERTER · 02-02-2014, 01:37 AM

Pretty sure that is just a weird photo angle.

I think Raytrix might be referring to reinforcement in order to maximize any downward pressure the wing may produce instead of just flexing on the trunk and "wasting" any useful downforce.

Actually if it was a carbon trunk it would be even better at providing a stiffer platform for a big wing to work effectively.

By the way, I like your car...looks good with the black wheels and toms taillight on WRB.

I'll look into it. The mounts seemed quite stable, I'll play around with them and see if I notice any flex on the trunk.

first WRB i think the Toms look good on. but back on topic. the wing looks good. just need some more front downforce to match the rear downforce. otherwise you'll get some lift and that would be bad. keep us posted (those that aren't here to make stupid "ready for take off?" comments).

Definitely planning on a splitter or canards and or both in the front. Took 3 months to get this wing, and then it sat in my office for a month so I'll get to that stuff eventually!

Suggestions on canards and splitter are appreciated.
