HELP.. wing on CF trunk..

wussup fellas.. i have a CF trunk and CF wing.. i am scared to tighten the screw too tight and crack the CF.. but at the same time i recently noticed my some of the screws on the wing had become loose.. i also notice the wing moves a little bit.. what can i do to make my CF trunk stronger or more rigid??..

i know this is outta my non-evo lancer world.. but i figured you guys would have some more experience with this sort of thing.. thanks..

its a VIS trunk.. also the wing is bolted on.. im just gunna loctite the bolts.. i took it up to about 120 MPH and it did better than at 60-70 MPH.. i need some bars for the inside of the trunk that would attach to the wing bolts and increase the rigidity..

al i can say is forget about having your rear end all over the place..

Those are simillar to hood pins. I think they can pull the whole assembly off. The trunk is not hinged on that car. It probably has pins on the top as well.

No, the trunk is still hinged it doesn't have a latch or locking mechanism. All or nearly all racing sanctioning bodies require hood and trunk latches to be disabled. They are springs to keep the trunk down.
