mounting wing to C.F boot lid
Hello, I just after any thoughs or advise. have just purchased a APR CT200, rear wing (miata one). I have a Garage vary Carbon fibre trunk lid on my car, do you thing it will be strong enough to support the wing and associated loads it will create ? or am I better off installing it on the factory steel one?

Take a look at a few of the threads on this forum regarding wing mounting. There are some clever diy bracketry designs making use of the sturdier boot drip rail channel. The boot lid will flex and not transfer the forces well and will possibly allow an unintended angle change as drag pushes on the wing, so it makes a less desirable mounting point. The secondary benefit of drip rail mounting is that easier access to the boot is maintained.
