Not at all, it slides right on top of the stock wing snugly. I have 3M on it and its not going anywhere.

Love it

How about weight? Does it make the trunk even more heavy? I know it's CF but still..

Actually good question, when you hit the button to pop the hatch, it doesn't "always" pop completely. The Z must be truly fine tuned to not pop too strongly.

So what I do is as I pop the trunk I have my pinky on the trunk to push up at the same time...minor annoyance, no biggie

I think there is a mod in the DIY section about adding pennies or something to make the trunk pop stronger/more consistent.

Awesome good to know, I already have to do that with just the OEM. So adding it wouldn't make a difference.. I was worried that it would add even more weight to it.

Thanks for the info!

That's good to hear. I would've looked more closely into it if I'd know the fitment was so good. One thing I can't permit myself to do is drill into the sport wing.

Looking nice man, but I can't believe how close you come to scraping while getting in your garage.

Yup fitment is spot on, everything I've gotten from Carbon Signal has been amazing. I was happy I didn't have to drill also!

I know, I cringe everytime going into the garage...actualy now, I can get in ok, its getting out, seems I am scraping my lovely FI cans

Wife doesn't understand wanting to move over a garage haha
