Actually, in the rear I got a great idea from looking at one of the GT race-prepped 370's: they built a little rectangular frame from 1-inch square-tube aluminum. They cut holes in the trunk floor and the underside of the trunk lid, and their little frame sits between the car's lower subframe and the base of the wing. Basically the wing is bolted to the trunk lid (just to hold it there when the trunk lid is open), and then also bolted through to this frame when the lid is closed (you unbolt to open the rear). Sorry I don't know how to describe it better, wish I had taken pics of it. But the bottom line is: the aero force on the rear wing will push through this square tubing straight down onto the lower subframe stuff under the car, not onto the sheet metal or lid.
