I we can get enough reinforcement from new plate from APR I will buy Anderson CF lid!
I would run that new base plate on the top side of the Anderson deck lid!

Thoughts guys...

Would not look as clean mounted on the top. But I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The holes are pre-drilled around the outside of that plate so you would have extra hardware sticking out.

I ordered my wing and it is coming with the new plates and spacers.

Direct from APR?

What are you planning to do with the front aero?

Yeah I all about stripping weight...ugly but light, it's all me. No waxer or cars and coffee guy here.

I dont think it would work as our runner has a bevel and hence why the original APR top plate are not flat. From what I can see the new ones to be mounted on underside are in fact flat however I may be mistaken!

The top plate where the uprights bolt too are still required so I don’t think there is any weight savings to be had by mounting on top vs bottom (except bolts). But I agree with your add lightness concept!

Yep, directly from APR.

And front aero is still in the works. I know a lot of fast people who run just the APR wing and like the balance a lot, when angle of attack set correctly. Though I am still working with a few companies on coming up with splitters.

What I was trying to say is my decision on what parts to run is never based on what looks better but what works better.

I just finished up the APR 67" Wing (w/ trunk reinforcements) and the aero sports concepts front splitter.

Next on my list is a custom rear diffuser that is actually functional AND looks good!

That looks killer. Excited to hear how they hold up in a track environment, and handling improvements they provide. Congrats on the setup.

Can you go into more detail on how you adjust the trunk bump stops to prevent rubbing? Also, was one of your mounting bolts too long? The lower, or front bolt (depending how you look at it) won’t tighten all the way. It appears to be half an inch too long.
