i attached pics of how i mounted it. because the fitment is bad, thats the best place i can drill. the second pic shown the bend where the front of the trunk edge pulled upward. the rear edges pulled down. like i said, you wont even see the bend when you are standing close enough to the car.

don't think this guys problems have anything to do with APR or that it actually bent his trunk. His issue is with the line of the trunk lining up with the body line. And I think many people would find that true if they looked as closely as he is.

there is a curve up bend right at the edge. i know the pic wont show, because its very little close to none. i bet it will get bigger as i keep driving it on freeway for DD

its a wing.

it's sole purpose is to create downforce.

you're getting mad at it cuz it's doing it's job?

distribute the force of the two pedestals more evenly via custom mounts or reduce the AOA

like Zero.

its a combination of airflow off the rear glass and side vortices off the side of the car that work on the 3d airfoil shape. and the pedestal height...

put a long meter stick on top. and it should be level with the ground. even at 0 degrees, you will get some decent downforce due to the design..
