If you did that, I'd be all over it. I was already in the process of custom designing a wing-independent method to do a safety latch that braces to the trunk floor plan to help on both bow up and force down distribution. If you incorporated it as part of the mounting bracket, makes my life and probably a lot of others lives easier to distribute the downforce into the frame instead of across the deck lid.
For my purposes, I have a ton of aero changes this winter in the works. The one giant gap is the rear wing. I haven't settled on a design/vendor yet and until I do I can't offset the aero balance shifts. I have one more event before I tear the car back apart for body work/widening work/finishing reparing last track incident. And then I need to start making some decisions on airfoil solutions.
You have a timeframe in mind for that bracket change? We talking 6 months or a year out?
Also our new Evo X wing system can tie into the trunk hinge for added mounting strength. Both wing systems bolt-on using the stock trunk mounting holes.

I gotta wait until I have an hour to waste and watch it. But, on the evodave mod; were the fenders modified other than the evodave parts? The fender has a lot of material int he back, that needs bent in a similar way to rolling fenders to actually open the gap there. The other consideration is directing the air a little bit, since the most direct route for air is right into the door jam.

nah, he changed over to doing like quarterly production runs now for whatever reason. he's discontinuing the evo and s2000 wings because "the Evo and S2K have been discontinued and never were produced in large volume for the U.S. Market."
