I have a carbon hatch and want to add aero to the rear of my 350z.

Has anyone in here had luck with mounting a wing to a carbon hatch? Or do I need to go chassis-mounted?

Anything that will function with down force will destroy the carbon fiber hatch. Even the metal oem hatch will deform with a functional wing.

Agreed- any significant aero will deform and eventually destroy a CF hatch. You need to determine how to best mount strong metal wing mounts (that won't deform) to the chassis.

Chassis mount and be done. Mine mounts through the hatch

Do you happen to have any pictures of your install? Was there a kit that came with everything or did you have to do custom?

Kognition chassis mount.

I've had my Z for 7 years now. Not sure but that may double. If it becomes a secondary I'm definitely adding aero for track days.

BTW I found this article which was SUPER educational. Reducing drag for speed and creating downforce for traction are two very different things.
