I was afraid you were going to say that, what wing are you running now? My GTC-300 arrives today but I guess I'm not running it at Daytona:shakes head:

I now have the aeromotions. It has an aluminum core

Wait- did you just say the only thing holding that wing to your car is tape? It's not a tiny little spoiler where you can do that. Install it right or take it off. If you taped it on it'll either end up stolen or through the windshield of the car behind you. Please tell me I read your post wrong.

Bro, no joke, I have ALWAYS loved big a$$ wings on sports cars. Not sure why either.

With that said, I love your wing. Hopefully it doesn't get you too much heat from the 5-0!

It needs to be bolted to the hatch, and yes, I had a problem. In addition to the wing cracking, the skin of the hatch also cracked at the mounting bases. Can't really see it but its at the back end of the mounts, inboard. Both sides had 1" cracks in the aluminum hatch skin.

To fix it with the new wing, we bonded steel plates onto the hatch to spread the load of the downforce out a bit and prevent a repeat occurance.

thanks Mike. That is exactly what i can imagine.

But i dont track, i never exceed 70 on high way, so hope the wing wont create big downforce to destroy the hatch

I am fortifying the hatch, i mean i glue the base and Pedestals together , then mount it to hatch ( i would like to glue it too i addition to bolt) , then add 1 level big of aluminum/ steel plates underneath the hatch, then bolt it ?
Your steel plate is very good ideal, but the hatch is destroy because you track right ? does it cause by going through bump on street ?

i thought this was a troll post.......

Your not going to have a problem at 70mph on the street, his broke on the banks of Daytona at 155mph under high Gs and you wont get anywhere near that kind of force on it.

I sell very expensive windows designed to stand up to hurricanes and we use a glazing material to hold the glass it that is just amazingly strong. I'm filling in the areas behind the hoods skin and the brace with it to try to stiffen it up. This stuff is incredibly hard to cut or remove when dry but I don't know where you would get it outside of the business.

Mike 04-19-2014 06:53 PM

what he said! Also, I can't tell you about on the street, as my car is not a street car anymore.

On mine, to attach the steel plates, the body shop used panel bond in addition to the bolts. Its the same stuff they attach roofs to vehicles with.
