Default Trunk (Wing) reinforcement

I've searched and only found people suggesting aluminum plates w/o posting pictures.

I couldn't find any more info or pictures of trunks that have any reinforcement for running a rear wing.


Particularly for a large center mounted rear wing.

If you reinforced it even further (to the chassis/cage/trunk floor) don't hesitate to post pics!

How about the OEM CR parts? Probably not ideal by themselves, but its surprisingly strong. Maybe in combination with other suppoert braces?

Isnt the internal bracing of the trunk different for the CR's compared to regular trunks?

yes great stuff I just used the regular dunno if "big gap filler" or some other variation is denser or anything

someone posted a pic here before - I can shoot a pic tommorrow but basically go spray it between the trunk and the bracing metal.. I'd put some shop towels over the body to stop the crap dripping on it

I would think that the big gap version is less dense.
