Ok so im getting a stock Evo wing, I have a CF Trunk that is very flimsy to say the least.. Sound i have a problem holding the stock Wing on there...

Problems i thought about

- CF spidering
- CF not holding it and breaking the trunk

anyone have a CF trunk plz chime in.

 

You have to brace the underside of the trunk when mounting a spoiler on it.

 

just some thoughts to think about for support large fender washers or flat aluminum/steel stock ( aluminum wont rust and is much lighter) but this is the way to go if you want your trunk to hold up on the street

 

Brace with what?

 

CF is mighty pretty, lightweight and strong.... but very brittle. I wouldn't suggest putting it back on at all. Your hood might just get ripped off. Then again, it would depend on many factors.

 

i just dont want the trunk breaking or anything bec of the wing.. i believe it weighs about 7-8lb..

 

you will probably have to make some sort of brace on the underside of the trunk to disperse the weight and pressure evenly over a greater amount of surface. this should keep the wing from ripping off. brace with what? i couldnt tell you lol sry

 

what brand trunk is it?

 

never did that to mine period lol op check out my website and you will see that i have a cf trunk with Riser apr gtc 200 spoiler i also have a apr gtc 300 on my cf trunk on my Nissian 350 Z. No cracking splitting etc. no brace nothing. Never showed signs of ripping wiggling to much etc. mine is a special viz trunk only weighs 10 pounds

 

wow never heard about this before.. would like more info since i have seen alot of ppl running cf trunk with stock spoiler

 

yup dont need it only on the trunks that weight like 5lbs would you need to reenforce it other then that you will be good.

 

It's quite common as I was going to re mount my spoiler at one point on my CF trunk and had considered the bracing per a speed shop in my area.

If your trunk is flexing and the spoiler is moving around, do you think its really serving it's purpose?

 

lol you could always use some window sealer haaaaa with that stuff its never coming off. Same stuff you use to hold down cf roofs or glass in general lol.

 

ahhh dont drill into a carbon trunkkkk!!!

 

^^^Yup don't drill. Use a dremel tool. If you use a drill you will crack the clear coat and then it will start to yellow.

Go to home Depot and buy a $60 dremel and use that.
