Hey guys I had a professional shop install and color match my mugen wing i got from k playground. I noticed after only as few weeks it wobbles in the middle up and down like its bending/flexing in the middle. This mainly happens when I'm going over 70-80 or when its windy out. Does this happen with anyone elses? Or should I take it back to be tightened/reinstalled. Thanks!
It was pretty expensive so I don't want it flying off, who would :p
 
This is off the top of my head, but two things come to mind. One is the wing is lacking in hardness of structure, and 2nd, the fact that it's moving up, & down makes me wonder about the aerodynamics of the angle of the wing( I'm thinking if it bends, it should only bend down in the middle at speed, since it's there to push the rear end of the car down).
 
I can't tell from your Avatar pic of your wing, if it is the 2 piece or the 1 piece, but I would be looking at shimming the mount so the rear of the wing is tilted higher. then do some test drives at speed till you see only downward bending. Then work on putting wide washers(size of a silver dollar) under the trunk to keep from f'n up the trunk lid.
 
Gotcha thats a good idea. and the entire thing is 3 pieces. 4 if you count the part that is bolted to the actual trunk. sucks to hear its happening alot. The k playgrounds were so expensive you would think they would make them better...
 
every review has said it shakes/bends badly. I've seen a few take it off because they hated it so much.
 
It wont wobble so much itll fall off though will it? Quite disappointing to hear as i think it looks awesome on most 9th gens :/
 
I haven't heard anyone say it fell off. They just felt embarrassed or whatever seeing it wobble driving down the road so they took it off.

If the air was to hit it so it's pushing ONLY down, than I wouldn't think there would be an issue. Is the middle/top part of the wing adjustable? If that can be turned to put the correct wind pressure(down) then you wouldn't have to shim the base.
