I communicated with Zach Bohn of Anderson Composites and he said its not advisable to install high downforce wings on the carbon decklids. That being said this is a seriously solid piece, Carbon through and through. Where the R wing loads are transferred the decklid is very solid and I am reinforcing the innerbolt locations with bonded in metal reinforcement then sandwiching over sized washers under the wing foot and under the mounting bolt. The 2 edge bolts are located where the decklid skins are doubled up (very solid 3/16 to 1/4" thick carbon layup). I believe it will hold up, my previous S197 Carbon/fiberglass deck from Anderson had an RTR blade spoiler attached for 4 years and still no signs of cracking or paint checking. I think a race wing that has pedestals bearing on the center section will probably stress the skin too much. If you have the chance to observe the wings on the GT4 cars they are dry carbon (not Anderson) but their pedestals use the factory GT350R wing location near the edges to mount.
Friday??
