honestly i wouldnt feel comfortable putting a wing on it. its really thin. a brace would keep it attached but then there will be stress points where the brace is and i can just visualize it cracking. it would have to be a simple spoiler (or a cf supra-like spoiler...hmmm..i wonder
 ) and you would have to close it by taking hold of the hatch lid instead of the spoiler.
