You can stand on your splitter, but how about your wing??

I've seen a few pictures of guys standing on their splitters to show how strong they are. But what about your wing?? Here is a pic of the latest version of the DHP wing . . . and the whole thing including mounting brackets for the OEM trunk comes in under 6 pounds total!!!

i would hope it could hold a guy! the apr gtc300 is good for almost 500lbs of downforce at 120mph and AOA @10*.

This must not be on their site. I was trying to find on-car pics. Could you post them when you get car ready for OLOA? Thanks!

500# spread evenly across the entire wing is a bit different than applying a load to the center.

My first wing made as much or more downforce than the APR unit, but it would have failed this test spectacularly. How much does the APR unit weigh?

I have pics in my Evo Aerodynamics thread. Only difference is mine is using aluminum uprights mounted closer to the center and the new version is a direct bolt-on using carbon fiber uprights.

Though it is a testament to the quality, I don't know if I would have the nuts to stand on the wing. A little lateral wiggle and those mounts will not be happy.

I will be ready with the camera in case you want to do that one while it is on the car on the trip.

Lateral movement or not. here are a few close up pics of the wings mounting set up with the carbon fiber up rights.

The mounts for the wing are bonded to the wing but, also built through out the entire wing into the core.

Also I think it was said, but these mounts are designed to bolt in the factory monting location. The carbon uprights are also 1 pound lighter per mount then the aluminum up rights.

I've seen in I believe Dsport someone standing on a Kognition wing. Think his name was the G-stig.
