Will this wing clear the trunk lid when it's open?

The STI wing profile is designed to sit within standard trunk lid travel. Before final installation, test the fit with your trunk open fully to confirm clearance at your specific mounting points. If you've modified the hinge geometry or added trunk support hardware, verify once more before fastening.

What mounting hole pattern does this use?

This wing is built to match the factory STI mounting locations for your vehicle's generation. Reference your vehicle's OEM trunk lid documentation or test-fit before drilling new holes. Existing STI mounting holes will align directly; non-STI trunks may require template verification.

Should I apply a clear coat to the carbon?

Clear coat is recommended to protect the carbon finish from UV exposure and environmental damage. Sand and prep the wing surface lightly before applying your chosen automotive clear coat for best adhesion and longevity.
