Reinforcing trunk for APR wing
Hello.
I bought an APR GTC200 for a BMW M3, 67 inches wide. Since it is not miata specific wing the uprights are not at the edge of the trunk lid. They are a bit wider than the distance between the tail lights, which eliminates the option of mounting it to the real panel area.
I can mount it to the bumper beam, or reinforcing the trunk lid and adding 4 steel hood pins to all 4 corners. I need to reach inside the trunk because the fuel cell is in there. Mounting it to the bumper beam will be a hassle as the car won't fit in the garage with those uprights.
Is my idea of reinforcing trunk lid and adding pins viable or I am smoking quality material?
