What's the mounting hole pattern, and will it match my OEM spoiler footprint?

The Elixir design uses a modified profile, so verify the mounting holes against your current rear wing or OEM location before installation. Take measurements of both the new wing's base and your existing mounting points to confirm alignment. If you're replacing an OEM spoiler, most bolt patterns remain compatible — check your vehicle's technical documentation to be certain.

Will this wing cause trunk lid clearance issues?

The Elixir's horizontal profile sits lower than many aggressive aftermarket wings. Verify clearance by measuring the wing height at its highest point and comparing it to your trunk lid opening. If you frequently load cargo or use roof-mounted gear, check that the wing won't interfere with your typical load patterns before final installation.

Should I apply clear coat over the carbon fiber?

Real carbon fiber benefits from UV-protective clear coat to preserve the weave finish and prevent oxidation over time. Sand the surface lightly before application, then apply a quality automotive clear coat in thin, even layers. This protects your investment and keeps the twill weave looking sharp season after season.
