Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - EVO-R High Wing Install Questions

I know there have been a lot of other threads on this particular wing, but in digging through those and videos on youtube I still have some questions.
I took my Z to a local body shop that I trust to install my EVO-R High Wing on my 2016 Sport. Body shop got my sport wing off without breaking it, Yeah! there are 4 bolt holes on the EVO and only the 2 center ones appear to line up with the factory holes. The exterior ones look like a hole will need to be drilled. Concern by body shop and myself is they appear to go into a pocket where the weather stripping is which could cause other issues and will require a hole inside the hatch to try and access as well. I have read in some threads others have only used the two center bolts and lots of 3M double sided tape. Any consensus on what other have done as the body shop and I am worried about the long term integrity of my hatch. Thanks in advance for any help.
