Preventing wing from being stolen?
I am installing a wing on the back of my fc but am afriad of the week getting stolen when the car is parked. I am going to be using alan key screws but that still doesnt prevent anyone comeing with an alan key and stealing my wing in a couple mintues.
Are there any special screws that need like a key? or what do it do?

Exactly what kind of wing is this? The only spoilers i've ever seen that could be easily removed are piece of junk rice wings. Well... there is that one RE-Amemiya wing that looks pretty easy to remove too, but I'm douting you have an authentica RE-Amemiya spoiler...

Security Torx, it's the star shaped hole with a peg in the middle. they use them on roadside signs, and they are removable, problem will be getting metric ones. If you go APR I think those are SAE. Carl

Either way if its homosexual/bisexual/heterosexual, just as long as its not a dendropheliac... just use flathead bolts and use a nut and washer on the underside so they would have to pull a macguyver to pull it off, like what was said, and make sure that the part that attaches the wing to the brackets/whatnot are as secure as what your actually bolting to the car.

i mean hey guys if the owner like his car like that i mean it is his car but w/e neways my suggestion would be to use rivets some nice aluminum cheap at Home Depot or something and i doubt someone will carry a drill with them and a drill bit to remove it...

Yes the wing is big...and yes it is made out of carbon fiber....so as you guys all say yes i guess it rice but guess wut i am still puting it on even though you guys think its rice...i personally think big functional wings on widebody track cars are usefull
