^ yeah, even though its a TRD wing, its not like they had down force in mind when designing it, its for looks! although i doubt that it has a horrible amount of drag as well, if it does anything performance wise its just gana be because of the weight which ant even that much. its for looks!

at best the downforce it may produce even if highly designed for downforce is not gana make any diff untill your at higher speeds anyway. lets not argue about the wing though not worth it.

I would deff recomend reinforcing the hatch to hold a wing. I have not seen the underside of that hatch but if its maid like my hood is (genuine VIS with under support) its not ment to hold up weight its ment to hold its shape, a few good layers of fiberglass or cf under it would do it good, and not gana add enough weight to matter.
