Question Carbon Fiber Wing

I was looking at the Evo Encyclopedia and a question that has come to my mind before has resurfaced. On the illustration that shows the carbon fiber spoiler, right below the wing there are 4 bolts(?) they are labeled number 1, does anyone know what these are for? Is it how the spoiler sides stay together? Just curious as to why there are four there and wanted to know what function they serve?

Those should be to hold the carbon fiber piece to the wing pieces.

Shouldn't be based on everything I've seen and read.

Seems like I had read a long time ago that it was going to be adjustable but like I said that was a long time ago and it could have been ns, or about the VII. Nothing that I have seen or read have supported adjustability. Also in looking at it closely at the auto show it certainly would be a miracle if it was adjustable.

The wing is not adjustable. I suspect that later this year the wing might be, but not right now.

Actually, I think the wing might be adjustable. I've seen it a few times in person already. The front part of the groves where the carbon fiber part goes into the sides has a pie slice shaped cutout where it look like the wing can be tilted about 30 - 45 degrees.

Check out the pic below I edited.

It would be great if the centerpiece could be detached so I can take it to a shop and have it painted to match the color of the car. I hate that different color look. They should have just kept everything one color.

That's because it's carbon fiber in the middle. Carbon fiber is basically a woven fabric that you spray with a clear resin to make it harden. It looks really cool in person, believe me.

I believe those bolts hold on the CF piece to the rest of the wing upright. I do not believe it is adjustable. I remember looking at it and thinking "hmmm...... its not adjustable"
