Aeromotions wing install
 

For anyone who's installed this wing, does it move a bit laterally?

I used the stock mounting hardware (the black aluminum feet that come with the wing), bolted it all down. And vertically the wing is very solid but side to side it moves maybe a quarter inch.

The play seems to be coming from the aluminum trunk which has some give to it. I've seen other installs where they did reinforced (Mike the powdercoater's install). Wondering if I need to go that route as well

thanks guys, appreciate the help

Yes, if you are bolting to the hatch you will need to reinforce it.

No issues with mine at all. Zero reinforce

looks good!

reviving an old thread, I've been trying to find how to reinforce the hatch but to no avail, my APR wing shakes quite a bit even at 40 mph and I'm wondering what I can do

I just did mine so I will take a picture for you. All I did was add a plate to mount the wing to out of some carbon fiber pieces I had laying around. It is not the most cosmetically looking but there absolutely no wiggle anymore even when I put my full weight behind it.

The other method is to make a stand that attaches to the bottom of the hatch were the wing mounts are mounted. You would use longer bolts to fasten the two together and then the stand would set and can be affixed to the bottom of the trunk if that makes sense.

Yeah a picture would be great! Thank you!

another suggestion my shop gave me was to use cables, not sure how that would work though if hatch is the issue

I guess if we cable it to the rear bumper? but would never be able to use the trunk again....

Yep, that is why I decided to go the route I did first. The crazy thing is the mounts for the same wing or the 500 on the GTR are much beefier...not sure why they did use the design for the Z.

especially when the mounts are so close together in the center for the gtc300....

another question is, what effect does it have when the wing shakes much, am I loosing DF or its getting inconsistent airflow?

I don't think there is a significant decrease in downforce as long as it is not to drastic and erratic. I think you would see it more in upsetting the car because of the inconsistent flow.

Mike used aluminum plate to increase the footprint of the bases. Then had the aluminum painted to match.

Here are the pictures I promised.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a62eec6eea.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b873bfc550.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4e2c3092c9.jpg

I was going to suggest as well.

Think Mike sandwiched his with another plate inside.

Hmmm, made I will do that if this doesn't suffice. It is pretty stout!
