Default can seibon CF hatch support a wing? or break?

stupid question, but does anyone know if the seibon CF rear hatch will hold a wing or is it too flimsy and might crack?

touring wing pedistals? probably not. you'd need to dissipate the downforce generated by the wing equally else your hatch will crack..


flat wings like Nismo, Veilside, Type E? yea. should be ok since its fiberglass on fiberglass. and the mounting base is wide..

Depends on the wing. If it is a big wing, I would suggest cutting through the hatch and making supports in the trunk itself

Yeah, but I wouldn't put a big wing on it. The fiberglass would flex so bad.
