Default Flared trunk with wings?

I was looking on here for people who have the Flared CF Trunk from Aerokits and a wing, and couldn't find any.

Can you have both, or do wings not fit because the trunk is flared. I really would like to have the flared CF trunk and wing, specifically the megan racing wing. Links are below. Any advice on if this works or not would be appreciated.

That hatch an integrated wing built in. Therefore you don't need to install a wing on it.

But if you would want to add extra downforce, I guess you can get Mine's wing which I believe should fit, and look relatively good.

I doubt anybody has done it, but it could be done

buyer beware of that company selling the hatch. I would stick with the real Mastergrade hatch for better fitment and construction...just my $.02

Default Mastergrade

The mastergrade trunk is a little bit more than twice the price of the one that I am looking at. What guarantee do I have that I'm not just throwing my money away at mastergrade? I have never seen either of these products, so if you can prove to me that theirs is inferior to yours, I would gladly spend the extra money for the better part.

I'm not trying to be rude. Don't take it the wrong way, I just see a much cheaper product that appears identical to Mastergrade's and that is all I have to go on. If you could provide anymore insight I would appreciate it.

I would normally agree, but there's another great quote used by a lot of car parts manufacturers that I used to by wholesale from for the domestic market......There's a sucker born every minute.

So your comment prompted me to do a little deeper research. It appears that aerokits buys one of your products and duplicates it, but uses your pictures to advertise their product that obviously would not be as good of quality, correct or am I way off.

Also, on the mastergrade website it says that the trunk is 1200 but it as listed at 1050 on this website. Could I get it at 1050 or am I at the 1200 price.

Sweet, I'll definately be getting it from you guys then. I've just gotta wait until mid October, but you'll be hearing from me soon.

Thanks again for all the advice everyone.
