Default carbon fiber trunk lid

alright I am gonna be putting a Carbon fiber trunk lid on my 1997 Del Sol DOHC VTEC........ok I was getting ready to purchase the JSP Blade carbon fiber wing...but then im thinking....ok i do a mid to high 12....will the carbon fiber trunk lid be able to take the stress of the down force? I was thinking with all that down force it giving the carbon fiber maybe preassure cracks.....opinions? or people who use carbon fiber trunk lids and aluminum style of wing?

I guarantee you that you don't even have to worry about downforce because you probably won't even hit that high of a speed where downforce matters.

There will be an effect but not that great as to affect the CBF. Unless you cruise at 80mph for a long time, might distort alittle.
