I have looked at so many ideas on how to have a real wing that I could take on and off the car easily as prefer to be relatively stealthy on the street and nothing really worked out.
I had looked at this wing before but the 29" mount spacing did not fit into my idea of what I wanted to do.
I considered a straight element but found nothing I wanted to use and I know this wing works very very well and might benefit from the rounded shape of the car. If it does not work as expected I could still switch to a straight element later if I find one suitable.
Then I though just today, why not mount the wing from the ends instead of the middle so I called APR and they were exceptionally helpful and sold me just the element instead of the whole kit, saved quite a bit of money on it as well
This is a real wing, just a narrower version, their wings have been used on countless race cars for many years now.
I will design uprights that come out between the hatch and tail lights so I can take them off and looks stock when not in use, that will be the hardest part and working out proper mounts to the hatch.
Then I will draw out and cut out aluminum uprights unless I can get CF sheet ones made for a decent price, the uprights will be the end plates and have angle adjusters build in as well.
The plan mount the element above and as far back as it makes sense and still fit in the trailer if I need to leave it on but I might just say screw it and mount it further back and I am keeping the stock spoiler but will fill in the top of it to clean up the air flow.
I will certainly have to extend the TR splitter with this on the back of the car!
I have a ton of stuff to do right now so it might not get done for a bit but if it goes well just might happen in the next 2-3 weeks and if any interest I could have the parts made for others to do this as well
